The document describes a partnership between Klamath Community College and Southern Oregon University to offer an elementary education degree program with a satellite campus in Klamath Falls. The program allows students to earn a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education through a part-time process while taking most classes in their home community at Klamath Community College or online through SOU. The program is designed over 5 years, with the first 2 years completing an Associate's degree at KCC and the remaining years taking upper division SOU courses online, hybrid, or at KCC to earn a teaching license and degree. The program aims to provide nationally accredited teacher preparation while allowing students to learn in their home community in a structured part-time format.
