Students at Modesto Junior College and Columbia College will have increased access
to UC Merced thanks to an agreement signed Monday by officials from the university
and Yosemite Community College District. The agreement – known as the Merced Promise
Pathway memorandum of understanding (MOU) – provides a clear, streamlined pathway
to UC Merced for MJC and Columbia students as well as a variety of supports to help
them prepare for life at a four-year university.
