Elms College Partners with UNE on Pathway to Five Graduate Health Programs

CHICOPEE — Elms College signed an articulation agreement with the University of New England (UNE), creating a streamlined pathway for Elms graduates to pursue advanced degrees in five high-demand health professions.

Under this agreement, Elms College students who meet a specified minimum GPA and fulfill additional program requirements will be guaranteed an interview in the admission process for UNE’s graduate programs. Starting in the fall of 2025, this collaboration will broaden educational opportunities for Elms students, offering them direct access to UNE, Maine’s leading provider of health professional training.

The five graduate programs included in this agreement are doctor of dental medicine (DMD), master of science in athletic training (MSAT), master of science in occupational therapy (MSOT), doctor of physical therapy (DPT), and doctor of pharmacy (PharmD).

These fields represent growing areas within healthcare, and this agreement positions Elms graduates for success in meeting the increasing demand for skilled professionals.

For students at Elms College, this agreement not only provides a more accessible route to graduate-level education, but also serves as a testament to the value of an Elms education in preparing them for meaningful careers in healthcare.
