What does it look like?

Degree Partnership Program (DPP)

DPP allows students to take advantage of what both schools have to offer.

Combine your enrollment at both Western Oregon and Mt. Hood Community College to achieve full time enrollment for financial aid purposes. Take courses at both institutions and be enrolled at both schools simultaneously.

Get admitted to WOU, take WOU classes, meet your instructors and advisors while still taking courses at Mt. Hood Community College. Transfer to WOU or complete your associate’s degree.

Join our Pack!

All students in this program who complete 36 or more transferable credits or a transfer associate degree at Mt. Hood Community College with a maintained GPA of 2.25 will be guaranteed admission to WOU.

  • Complete your credits or associate degree at Mt. Hood Community College
  • Guaranteed admission to WOU with a GPA of 2.25
  • Access the WOU academic advising
  • Possibly 2 years away from a WOU degree

While entry to WOU is guaranteed, time to completion of requirements is dependent on prior coursework taken.

How can I see how my credits will transfer?

While we suggest scheduling an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss the exact ways in which your credits will transfer, there is also a tool you can use yourself to look into the ways that transfer credits should be applied from MHCC towards your WOU degree. That tool can be accessed here: https://ssb-prod.ec.wou.edu/PROD/wou_web.p_trans_artic – if you do not see a class you have taken listed or you have questions about equivalency, we encourage you to reach out to an academic advisor for help!
