Postsecondary institutions cannot survive as isolated islands and must constantly be motivated to pursue new partnerships to provide students the opportunity to transition through career and technical education (CTE). A partnership between Valdosta State University (VSU) in Valdosta, Georgia, and regional technical colleges is doing just that by providing formal pathways for students with an associate degree in applied science to continue on to earn a bachelor's. This article discusses the partnership between VSU and Georgia two-year technical colleges in an effort to provide students with seamless pathways from one end of the education spectrum to the next. It presents success stories in the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree partnership programs.
