On November 18, 2020, 亚色影库 President Michael Driscoll and Westmoreland County Community College President Tuesday Stanley signed a dual admissions program agreement, designed to streamline the process for students who earn an associate degree at Westmoreland to complete a bachelor's degree program at 亚色影库.
Under terms of the agreement, students enrolled at Westmoreland who plan to complete a bachelor's degree at 亚色影库 will be given automatic acceptance to 亚色影库, pending successful completion of all admissions requirements. No additional admissions application will be required for these students.
