(Courtesy graphic)Officials from the Warren and Sussex county colleges inked the agreement Wednesday, with several courses expected to begin in the fall, according to a news release.
The courses include health-related programs, such as physical therapy aide and veterinary assistant certifications.
While each school will hold its own classes, the partnership is a cost-saving measure for the colleges as the programs will be administered under one roof, requiring less staffing overall, said Warren County Community College spokesman Dan Hirschberg.
"This is a win-win for residents of both counties," said WCCC President Will Austin. "The partnership streamlines our efforts so that residents can get the most out of their educational pursuits."
