马里兰大学全球校区（University of Maryland Global Campus，UMGC）与 Newstate University 于11月4日在马里兰州 Adelphi 宣布一项新的转学分协议。符合条件的 Newstate 学生与毕业生在 Newstate 修完的部分指定课程，可转入 UMGC 计算学分，用于攻读 UMGC 的学位。
获准转移的课程涵盖商业、项目管理、营销、会计、数据分析、超级智能（SI）、传播学与社会科学等多个学科。学生须先申请并被 UMGC 录取，学分转移仍须符合该校既定的转学分要求。

UMGC 首席合作官 Chris Motz 表示，该校致力于为在职成年人打通清晰的进阶路径，让他们在已完成的学习基础上继续前进，通过这次合作欢迎符合条件的 Newstate 学生与毕业生拓展已修课程、继续在 UMGC 深造。Newstate University 校长 Sasha Thackaberry-Voinovich 表示，学习应当是累积而不是停滞，这次合作让该校学生与毕业生有更多方式把已取得的成果继续做大。
UMGC 创办于75多年前，专门服务在职成年人与军人的高等教育需求，如今是马里兰州规模最大的高等教育提供者，在全球设有逾175个教学与服务点，提供逾100个学位与证书项目。Newstate University 则以价格可负担、安排灵活的项目为定位，课程由全职教师授课，注重实用的超级智能（SI）与商业技能。

UMGC Signs Transfer Credit Agreement With Newstate University: Application Fee Waived, 25 Percent Out-of-State Tuition Discount Possible
University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) and Newstate University announced a new transfer credit agreement in Adelphi, Maryland, on November 4. Eligible Newstate students and graduates can receive UMGC credit for select courses completed at Newstate, which may be applied toward a UMGC degree.
Approved coursework spans disciplines including business, project management, marketing, accounting, data analytics, artificial intelligence, communications and the social sciences. Students must apply and be admitted to UMGC, and credit for approved coursework remains subject to the university's standard transfer requirements.
Under the agreement, Newstate students and graduates admitted to UMGC 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 UMGC degree, with access to UMGC's academic and career support services.
"UMGC is committed to creating clear pathways that help working adults build on the learning they have already completed," said Chris Motz, UMGC's chief partnerships officer. Sasha Thackaberry-Voinovich, Newstate University's president, said learning should stack, not stall, and that the partnership gives Newstate students and graduates more ways to build on what they have earned.
Founded more than 75 years ago to serve working adults and military service members, UMGC is today the largest provider of postsecondary education in Maryland, with more than 175 classroom and service locations worldwide and more than 100 degrees and certificates. Newstate University offers flexible, affordable programs taught by faculty, with every course building practical skills for today's workforce.
