Degree Partnership Programs

The Degree Partnership Program (DPP) promotes educational attainment and bachelor's degree completion by allowing students to be jointly admitted and concurrently enrolled at Oregon State University and Oregon community colleges. Previously referred to as the "Dual Enrollment Program", the DPP was established in 1998 by Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College and now includes 15 other Oregon community colleges. Students complete a single admission application and may combine credits for financial aid eligibility. They gain flexibility in completing a degree with access to more classes through the community college, on-site at OSU, and with online courses offered though the OSU Extended Campus.

The program is open to all U.S. citizens and residents pursuing their bachelor's degree. Many students in the program also earn an associate's degree.

Program Goals

The goals of this partnership are to:

• Improve student access, success, and baccalaureate degree completion.
• Expand student options for college-level services and curriculum.
• Improve academic program articulation.
• Facilitate university/commmunity college dual enrollment.

Results

The DPP has enrolled more than 4,000 students since 1998, with more than 1,000 completing OSU degrees.
