Sara Strammiello, Executive Director of Year Up, has announced that students will have the opportunity to earn college credit while attending Year Up, a one-year, intensive training program that provides urban young adults, ages 18 - 24, with a unique combination of technical and professional skills, college credits and a paid corporate internship. Under the newly formed articulation agreement between New England Institute of Technology and Year Up, located in Providence, Rhode Island, students taking courses in the computer program at Year Up may earn college credit through the Advanced Tech Program at New England Tech.

“Earning college credit is an outstanding opportunity for students planning to pursue careers in the technical fields,” said Ms. Strammiello. Erin Flynn, Coordinator of High School Programs at New England Tech stated, “By transferring credits, students may receive advanced standing and reduce the costs of tuition.”

Students taking specific courses in the computer program at Year Up may earn up to 23 college credits toward an associate degree in Information Technology or up to three college credits toward an associate degree in Computerized Business Management Technology.

Richard Dubuisson, Learning Director at Year Up, worked with NEIT’s Nick LaManna, Associate Chair of Information Technology; Elizabeth Hoch, Chair of Computerized Business Management Technology; and Tara Totoro, Assistant Coordinator of High School Programs, to develop the articulation agreements.

“Advanced Tech will offer students an opportunity for a head start in a career area and also get them involved in a post-secondary education with a specific direction in mind,” said Ms. Flynn. “We congratulate the administration and faculty at Year Up for offering this opportunity to their students.”
