Degree Timeline<\/h2>\n

Because each type of teacher preparation has different course requirements, we recommend scheduling an advising appointment with a WOU advisor your first term at COCC to determine the most essential courses to complete your Freshman year, and determine the ideal time for transferring and\/or joining the Degree Partnership Program.<\/p>\n
