NSU, EOSC Partner For Smart Choice

TAHLEQUAH Northeastern State University and Eastern Oklahoma State College recently announced the Gold to Green Smart Choice partnership to aid students in making the transition from the two-year institution to complete bachelors degrees at NSU.

The future of the state of Oklahoma is in its youth and both of our institutions have a century-long commitment to educating our states youth, said NSU President Dr. Don Betz. The challenges of educating our students are many and we cant get this accomplished alone. Our two institutions are working together to help students in their efforts to learn and achieve.

The Smart Choice plan provides EOSC students with the support to achieve their long-term education goals through easy access to transfer opportunities to NSU to complete a bachelors degree in their chosen field.

Eastern Oklahoma State College prepares students in Oklahoma as well as any other two-year institution in the state, said EOSC President Dr. Steve Smith. NSU wants to make our students, who felt apprehension about coming to a small two-year college, feel better about going to a school thats even larger and make the transition as seamless as possible.

The two institutions are committed to building and strengthening relationships between faculty and staff to the benefit of degree-seeking students. Faculty and staff will be able to promote educational opportunities available for students after they have completed their associates degrees.

The partnership between the two institutions is designed to increase the number of citizens achieving four-year degrees in eastern Oklahoma.
