Discounts range from 20 percent for those with a GPA between 2.0 and 2.49, to 52 percent for those with a GPA of 3.75 and above. This is a wonderful opportunity for our graduates to attend a prestigious university at an affordable rate. In addition to the guaranteed discounted rate, students are eligible to receive other grants and scholarships offered by GCU.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justin G. Roy, dean of admissions at Georgian Court University, lauded the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs two institutions who share similar educational missions, we\u2019re proud and excited to partner with Middlesex County College to develop pathways for MCC graduates to seamlessly transfer to Georgian Court University,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile students can enroll in the dual degree program at any time during their tenure at MCC, both schools recommend doing it as early as possible. That way, Georgian Court advisors can work with the students to ensure they are taking the correct courses and are prepared for the university.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new agreement signed by GCU President Joseph R.
