Adelphi, Md.—Nov. 4, 2026—�����鱨վ (�����鱨վ) and Newstate University today announced a new transfer credit agreement that allows eligible Newstate U students and graduates to receive �����鱨վ credit for select courses completed at Newstate U. The credit may be applied toward a �����鱨վ degree. 

Approved coursework spans disciplines including business, project management, marketing, accounting, data analytics, artificial intelligence, communications and the social sciences.  

“�����鱨վ is committed to creating clear pathways that help working adults build on the learning they have already completed,” said Chris Motz, �����鱨վ’s chief partnerships officer. “Through this partnership, we welcome eligible Newstate students and graduates to expand on their completed coursework and continue their education at �����鱨վ.”

Newstate U students and graduates admitted to �����鱨վ will have their application fee waived and may be eligible for a 25 percent discount on out-of-state tuition. They can apply approved coursework toward an online �����鱨վ degree, with access to �����鱨վ’s academic and career support services.

“Learning should stack, not stall,” said Sasha Thackaberry-Voinovich, Newstate U’s president. “Our partnership with �����鱨վ gives Newstate U students and graduates even more ways to build on what they’ve earned with us.”

Students must apply and be admitted to �����鱨վ, and credit for approved coursework is subject to the university’s standard transfer requirements.
