Emily Griffith Technical College and CSU Global Make Transition Between Institutions Easier in Computer Networking and Accounting Programs

DENVER, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Emily Griffith Technical College (Emily Griffith) and Colorado State University Global (CSU Global) have collaborated on a process for students to earn a CSU Global Bachelor's in Computer Science or Bachelor's in Accounting as they advance from Emily Griffith's career and technical education (CTE) certificate programs. The new agreement is focused on supporting students' professional goals, making it easier for Emily Griffith students to continue their education fully online at CSU Global by offering guaranteed admission to students that successfully complete Emily Griffith's Computer Networking and Accounting programs.

"Seamless transitions are a win-win for the students and the institutions," said Randy Johnson, executive director of Emily Griffith Technical College. "These agreements benefit students, who get a leg up in their education going into a four year college. It also strengthens the relationships between the two institutions, creates a pipeline of new students for the colleges, and continues that pipeline into the workforce, which is one of our goals at Emily Griffith."

"CSU Global is committed to providing accessible pathways, career-connected courses, and a return on investment for learners, helping them achieve their academic goals. We are honored to partner with Emily Griffith to provide new avenues for their graduates to continue their education on their own time, anywhere with an internet connection and enhance their professional opportunities," said Dr. Becky Takeda-Tinker, president at CSU Global. "Together, we can empower students to gain valuable skills and excel in high-demand fields."

Students who graduate from Emily Griffith and attend CSU Global receive special tuition rates, which are locked in from the day they enroll through graduation. Eligible coursework from Emily Griffith may be applied toward a CSU Global degree, depending on the student's academic pathway and chosen program.
