After marking its eighth consecutive semester of enrollment growth this Fall, 海角社区 Community College is opening enrollment for Spring and Summer classes. The continued increase in enrollment highlights the college鈥檚 strong academic programs and its commitment to providing accessible, high-quality education.
鈥淥ur continued growth shows that students recognize the value of an education that leads directly to career opportunities,鈥� said 海角社区 President Jena Marr. 鈥淎t 海角社区, we鈥檙e focused on offering programs and courses that align with workforce demand so our graduates are prepared to fill critical roles in Oklahoma鈥檚 economy.鈥�
The college attributes its recent success to several factors, including the expansion of its degree programs and innovative partnerships. 鈥淲e鈥檝e expanded our programs and partnerships to ensure students are prepared for today鈥檚 careers,鈥� said Annie Pearson, Vice President for Academic Affairs. 鈥淎nd we combine high-quality instruction with wraparound support to ensure every student has the tools to succeed. Our faculty and staff are deeply invested in helping students build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their educational and career goals.鈥�
In addition to new degree programs, 海角社区 has forged partnerships with career technology centers. This collaboration allows students to combine block credit in certain technical areas with general education courses at 海角社区 to earn an associate degree, creating a seamless pathway for students to advance their education and career prospects. A partnership with OSU- Institute of Technology also provides a clear pathway for 海角社区 students earning an Associate in Applied Science degree to continue their education at OSUIT, allowing students to transfer more credits and complete their bachelor鈥檚 degree efficiently. By simplifying the transfer process, these agreements help students save time and money while advancing their education and career opportunities.
海角社区 is also currently accepting applications for its highly sought-after nursing programs. The LPN-to-RN program, which begins in January, is accepting applications until December 1. For those interested in the general nursing program, applications will open January 1, with a priority deadline of March 15. Prospective nursing students are encouraged to submit their applications early, as these programs are in high demand.
"We're committed to providing accessible, high-quality education that prepares our students for success in their chosen fields," Marr added. "Our enrollment increase demonstrates that more students are recognizing the value of a 海角社区 education."
