A new pathway may soon open up for Imperial Valley students hoping to earn a four-year degree locally, as Imperial Valley College last week entered into a memorandum of understanding with CETYS University in Mexicali.

The MOU between the two institutions establishes an exchange program, allowing students to do their first two college years at IVC and then transfer to CETYS - the only Mexican university with Western Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation - for their final two years.
