Blue Mountain Community College and Southern Oregon University Create Partnership for Early Childhood Education

Blue Mountain Community College has signed an articulation agreement with Southern Oregon University in Ashland to allow Early Childhood Education program students to seamlessly transfer to complete a Bachelor’s degree.
“This new partnership gives our students the opportunity to transfer without obstacles to continue their pursuit of a career in early childhood education,” said Dawn Kennison-Kerrigan, the ECE Program Coordinator for BMCC. “This ultimately saves students time and money since all of their credits will seamlessly transfer to SOU in junior status.”

In addition, Kennison-Kerrigan said the partnerships will enhance BMCC’s relationships with both Head Start and the Oregon Coalition of Childhood Development (OCCD. The two colleges will work together to help Head Start and OCCD employees achieve their educational goals. Read more.
