The relationship now includes the launch of a new leadership certificate program taught by Marist faculty and designed to cultivate emerging leaders within Nuvance Health.

Under the agreement, students who complete an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Criminal Justice at DCC that meet the grade point average course requirement will be able to transfer all earned credits to Marist University and complete a Bachelor’s degree in Crime & Justice Studies in just two years as full-time students.
