An agreement signed March 22 between Virginia Wesleyan College and Eastern Virginia Medical School provides an enhanced opportunity for VWC students to earn graduate degrees in eight EVMS master's programs. The new EVMS Early Assurance Program gives admission preference to VWC students interested in pursuing advanced degrees in the fields of Physician Assistant, Surgical Assisting, Contemporary Human Anatomy, Laboratory Animal Science, Pathologist Assistant, Art Therapy, Biotechnology, and Public Health. The two institutions also offer a Joint Program in Medicine, established in 2003, which allows VWC students to apply for admission to EVMS in their sophomore year. Pictured here at the signing event, held at Virginia Wesleyan, are (front, from left) Dr. Richard V. Homan, President and Provost of EVMS and Dean of the EVMS School of Medicine, and myself; (back, from left) David Waggoner, VWC Vice President for Enrollment Services, Dr. C. Donald Combs, Vice President and Dean of the EVMS School of Health Professions, and Debbie Hicks, VWC Associate Dean for Academic Support. More
