An articulation agreement has been established
between West Virginia University – Parkersburg (WVU-P)
and the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology (HIWT)
in Troy, Ohio.
Basic, intermediate, and advanced courses in
oxyacetylene, shielded metal arc, gas tungsten arc,
gas metal arc, and flux cored arc welding, along
with blueprint reading, welding safety, and
inspection courses from HIWT are transferable with
the approval of the WVU-P Division Chair for
students wishing to pursue a certificate or degree
program in welding-related fields.
The purpose of the agreement
is to affect a spirit of mutual cooperation between
HIWT and WVU-P and to provide for the easy transfer
of students from HIWT to WVU-P for the continuation
of vocational, technical, or career-training
programs. Each
institution remains solely responsible for the
development and design of its own curricula.
Carl Smith, Welding
Instructor at WVU-P has long been an advocate of the
Hobart Institute.
He indicated, “This agreement is beneficial
to both our program and the Hobart Institute because
it enables students to continue their education to
receive a one-year certificate, a 2-year Associate
Degree in Applied Science in Welding Technology, or
a 2-year Associate Degree in Applied Science in
Welding Management/Technician.
Upon completion of these courses, if the
student is interested, they may go on for a 4-year
Bachelor Degree in Applied Technology.
All the degrees have been approved by North
Central accreditation.”
“This is definitely a win
– win situation for our students,” agrees Ron
Scott, Vice President and General Manager of the
Hobart Institute.
“Many of them come to Troy from West
Virginia for the Hobart Institute training. This will give them the opportunity to return to their home
area and meet their goals more effectively.”
