University Partnerships
Start at FAES, finish at some of the region's top institutions.
FAES has partnered with area universities to offer FAES Academic Programs students unique academic opportunities and pathways of study toward degree completion.
Graduate School at Hood College, Frederick, Maryland
FAES coursework can be applied toward flexible graduate programs at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. Upon acceptance to Hood College's master’s or certificate programs in bioinformatics, health informatics, project management and other areas, students may submit their official FAES transcript for course-transfer review by the program director. Approved FAES courses can be combined to meet Hood College requirements. Final approval must be issued by program chair for any course transfer.
