OCC business students can finish bachelor's degree at Wayne State under new agreement

Wayne State University and Oakland Community College have entered into an agreement that will allow OCC students who have received associate degrees in business administration to transfer up to 82 credit hours to WSU to complete their bachelor’s degrees there. The agreement, which was announced Monday and covers OCC business administration students who received their degrees with or without accounting concentrations, is similar to ones already in place with Schoolcraft College and Macomb Community College. Students would have to earn 40 more credit hours to receive their bachelor’s degrees. Linda Zaddach, assistant dean of undergraduate student services for the WSU School of Business, said the agreement will last for three years, but that she is confident it is "something that will continue" for longer. Zaddach said similar discussions with Henry Ford College have recently begun and that she is in the process of reaching out to Washtenaw Community College to develop a similar agreement.
