Certain administrative fees normally assessed to Mountwest College students, including application and portfolio fees, have been waived for AMO members under this articulation agreement.
Two additional schools, American Public University and Florida Atlantic University, will also soon accept various STAR Center courses for credit towards graduate degree programs. The details of the agreements with these schools are currently being finalized and will be published when complete.
