TribLIVE's Daily and Weekly email newsletters deliver the news you want and information you need, right to your inbox. Leaders of five higher education institutions in the region announced a new partnership Thursday, with the goal of improving college accessibility and affordability. Officials from Robert Morris University, Community College of Allegheny County, Community College of Beaver County, Butler County Community College and Westmoreland County Community College signed an agreement for a new initiative called RMU Gateway. Starting in Fall 2021, students enrolled in any of the four community colleges can have dual enrollment at RMU and take 12 RMU courses while working toward their associate degree. Tuition for those credits will be equal to what students pay at their community college.
