美国韦德纳大学双学位给学生多一种可能

在美国本科留学期间很多学生有两个爱好：化学和化学工程。在高中的最后一年，Oliphant被Widener录取​​，但在大一时就读于附近的一所大学学习化学工程。在那里的第一年，Oliphant很快意识到他想同时攻读两个学位。

Widener的双学位课程为他提供了通往Pride的途径。我最初来到这里的一个主要原因是，我不太确定自己会喜欢工程方面还是科学方面，但Widener给了我这种多样性。”—安东尼·奥利芬特'22

注册为双化学和化学工程专业不仅让Oliphant能够追随他的激情；这也使他毕业后在就业市场上更加灵活。

“我喜欢双学位路径，因为它提供了更多的工作灵活性，”Oliphant说。“无论我将来发现自己在化学工程工厂还是化学实验室，如果我不喜欢一个，我可以切换到另一个。”

Anthony Oliphant'22有望获得化学和化学工程双学位。

Oliphant是越来越多的转学生转向Widener以利用其广泛的课程产品的其中之一。在整个转学过程中，学生都会获得个性化的支持，以帮助他们顺利起步。

“无论学生申请一个学分还是几十个学分，我们都与他们密切合作，为学术、财务和学生支持提供与任何其他申请人相同的考虑，”本科转学招生副主任Crina Drayer说。

对于Cameron Carney'21来说，参加一个与她成为一名有执照的临床心理学家的目标相一致的项目仅仅是个开始。

“我不想只是一个数字，我觉得Widener真的让教师们了解我这个人，到目前为止，这已被证明是正确的，”卡尼补充道。

这种密切的教师指导也是将Amaya Reed-Clark'23吸引到Widener的原因。

国际关系专业和历史未成年人在大一时开始了她在Widener的大学生涯。然而，当COVID-19大流行来袭时，Reed-Clark需要做出符合她当前个人需求的改变，因此她转到了当地的一所社区大学。

尽管当时这种改变是必要的，但Reed-Clark指出，“我回到Widener是因为它对我来说是正确的地方。那是家。”

对于Reed-Clark来说，家庭意味着重新与她在第一年建立的关系，尤其是与教师的关系。现在在她大三的时候，里德-克拉克在她的指导老师杰里米·贝克斯特伦教授的支持下有望成为一名国际大使。

“我没有准备好从其他任何地方获得[支持]。我觉得Widener可以帮助我解决这个问题。当我回来时，我知道我会没事的，并且在正确的人手中，”里德-克拉克说。

虽然每个转学生的经历都是独一无二的，但每个学生从第一天起都会得到同等程度的关注和支持。转学生还可以获得可用的奖学金和经济援助计划。

本科招生执行主任考特尼·凯利(Courtney Kelly)说：“我们每天与学生合作，不仅在他们的学术生涯中与他们会面，而且还在经济援助过程中提供一对一的指导和支持。”

对于Carney和她的转学生同学来说，致力于确保她的个人和职业成功是Widener的与众不同之处。

“我立刻感觉到了一种联系，并没有最终访问任何其他学校，”卡尼说。“我知道Widener就是它。”

From Dual Degrees to Meaningful Mentorships,Transfer Students Find a Home at Widener

When it comes to pursuing an undergraduate career,Anthony Oliphant’22 has two loves:chemistry and chemical engineering.

In his final year of high school,Oliphant was accepted to Widener,but enrolled at a nearby university for his freshman year to study chemical engineering.In his first year there,Oliphant quickly realized that he wanted to pursue both degrees.

Widener’s dual degree program provided him with that pathway leading him to transfer to the Pride.

One of the main reasons I came here in the first place is because I wasn’t quite sure whether I would find myself liking the engineering side of things or the science side,but Widener gave me that diversity.”—Anthony Oliphant'22

Enrolling as a dual chemistry and chemical engineering major doesn’t just allow Oliphant to follow his passions;it also gives him agility in the job market after graduation.

“I like the dual degree path because it offers more flexibility with jobs,”said Oliphant.“Whether I find myself in a chemical engineering plant or a chemistry lab in the future,if I don’t like one I can switch to the other.”

Oliphant is among the growing numbers of transfer students making the switch to Widener to take advantage of its wide range of program offerings.Throughout the transfer process,students receive individualized support to help them hit the ground running.

“Whether a student applies with one credit or dozens of credits,we work closely with them to provide the same considerations for academic,financial,and student support as any other applicant,”said Crina Drayer,associate director of undergraduate transfer admissions.

For Cameron Carney’21,enrolling in a program that aligned with her goal of becoming a licensed clinical psychologist was just the beginning.

I ended up coming to Widener because there were way more opportunities than what the other schools were offering me."—Cameron Carney'21

Cameron Carney'21 transferred to Widener in her sophomore year.

“I didn’t want to just be a number,and I felt that Widener really offered faculty getting to know me as a person and,so far,that has proven true,”Carney added.

That close faculty mentorship is what drew Amaya Reed-Clark‘23 to Widener as well.

The international relations major and history minor started her collegiate career at Widener as a freshman.When the COVID-19 pandemic hit,however,Reed-Clark needed to make a change that fit her immediate personal needs,so she transferred to a local community college.

Though at the time that change was necessary,Reed-Clark noted,“I came back to Widener because it was the right place for me.It was home.”

For Reed-Clark,home meant reconnecting with the relationships that she built in her first-year,especially with faculty.Now in her junior year,Reed-Clark is on track to becoming an international ambassador with support from her faculty advisor,Professor Jeremy Backstrom.

“I wasn’t prepared to get that[support]from anywhere else.I felt as though Widener could help me with that.When I came back I knew that I would be alright and in the right hands,”said Reed-Clark.

While every transfer student experience is unique,each student is met with the same level of attention and support from day one.Transfer students also have access to available scholarships and financial aid packages.

“We work with students daily to not only meet them where they are in their academic careers,but to also offer one-on-one guidance and support in the financial aid process,”said Courtney Kelly,executive director of undergraduate admissions.

For Carney,and her fellow transfer students,that dedication to ensuring her personal and professional success is what differentiates Widener.

“I felt a connection right away and didn’t end up visiting any other schools,”Carney said.“I knew that Widener was it.”
