Historically Black Harris-Stowe State University in St. Louis has entered into a partnership with St. Charles Community College to create a joint admissions program for area students. This is the first such agreement between a community college and a Historically Black College and University in Missouri.
St. Charles Community College, located in Cottleville, Missouri, enrolls nearly 6,400 students, according to the latest data supplied by the U.S. Department of Education. African Americans make up 7 percent of the student body.
The new partnership will allow St. Charles Community College and Harris-Stowe State University to jointly recruit students into a special program shared between the institutions. Student participants will have student privileges at both institutions, allowing them to participate in campus activities and take advantage of campus resources on both campuses.
