India, April 23 -- The Take Flight STEM Pathway, a partnership between Rice University, Lone Star College (LSC) and San Jacinto College (SJC), is building on its efforts to expand education access and increase the number of students who complete STEM degrees.

Rice and LSC celebrated the renewal of a memorandum of understanding and the signing of an articulation agreement to allow transfer students in LSC's Take Flight Program to receive Rice credit for core science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses completed at LSC. The transfer of course credits is key to transfer students' timely progress to degree completion.
