EUGENE — Oregon State University has formed a degree partnership program with Lane Community College.

OSU now has agreements with 12 of the state’s 17 community colleges.

Originally the duel enrollment program, degree partnerships enable students to attend classes concurrently at OSU and affiliated community colleges, combine credits for financial aid and have the option of using facilities and services at partner campuses.

Classes can be taken at OSU and online through OSU’s Extended Campus.

A signing ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. today in the Lane Community College boardroom, Building 3, room 216.
