\"\"OCC: Students can earn two-year degree in a year through new weekend program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Onondaga Community College is starting Weekend College; the accelerated program will give students the opportunity to earn a two-year associate degree in just one year. Weekend College classes will be held\u00a0Friday<\/span>\u00a0nights from\u00a05:30 to 9:30 p.m.<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Saturdays<\/span>\u00a0from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/span>\u00a0on the OCC campus.<\/p>\n

Financial aid and scholarships are available for those who qualify. Classes begin\u00a0Friday, Aug. 24<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The first degree program being offered through OCC\u2019s Weekend College is business administration, a major which provides students with the highly valued knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in a variety of positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeekend College is ideally suited for students who are balancing work, family and personal responsibilities, allowing them to be on-campus two days per week and to complete an associate degree in only one year through an accelerated year-round calendar,\u201d said OCC President Dr. Casey Crabill. “With so many people in our community looking for a convenient, affordable way to quickly get into or move up in the business field, the Business Administration degree from OCC is a great fit.”<\/p>\n

In addition, OCC\u2019s partnership with SUNY Oswego will ensure students a seamless transfer into a bachelor\u2019s degree program which is offered through a combination of online and in-person classes at\u00a0SUNY Oswego\u2019s downtown Syracuse campus at Clinton Square<\/a>. With this partnership, students can complete their associate and bachelor\u2019s degrees at a SUNY price right here in Syracuse. OCC is planning to add more majors pending approval by SUNY and the State Education Department.<\/p>\n
