University of Evansville and Vincennes University Expand Guaranteed Admission Agreement
SEPTEMBER 7, 2024
EVANSVILLE, IND. (09/07/2024) The University of Evansville (UE) and Vincennes University (VU) are pleased to announce an expansion of its Guaranteed Admission Agreement (GAA), enhancing the pathway for VU students to seamlessly transition to UE. This agreement reflects both institutions’ ongoing commitment to providing accessible, high-quality education and ensuring students have a clear and supportive route to completing their bachelor’s degrees.
Initially established in June 2022, the agreement was originally designed to facilitate the transfer of VU students into engineering programs at UE. The partnership has now broadened to include all applicable VU academic programs leading to bachelor’s degrees at UE, aside from a few select majors and specialty degree programs. To be guaranteed admission to UE, students at VU must complete an Associate of Science degree and graduate from VU with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5. The new offer takes effect for the Fall 2025 transfer class.
Students will also receive a minimum academic scholarship of $20,000 per year ($10,000 per semester) for up to five semesters. Higher awards and additional scholarships may be available based on cumulative GPA and accomplishments.
“The Guaranteed Admission Agreement between the University of Evansville and Vincennes University is a testament to our shared commitment to educational excellence and accessibility,” said UE Manager of Transfer Admission Cherie Leonhardt. “This partnership will hopefully open the door for more transfer pathways between our schools which will streamline the transition for VU students and provide them with substantial financial support as they pursue their academic goals.”
“We are proud to see VU Trailblazers take advantage of these types of collaborations. We are confident in our graduates and pleased to see their efforts rewarded through these opportunities,” said Vincennes University President Chuck Johnson.
