Sounds like TCC and OSU are starting to cooperate more and more. This from the OSU Tulsa/ TCC website
" Tulsa Community College and Oklahoma State University-Tulsa are working together for Tulsa. This partnership enables students to earn a bachelor's degree while staying close to home. Students can complete freshman and sophomore courses from TCC then take junior and senior courses at OSU-Tulsa.
TCC and OSU-Tulsa students have a lot in common. Many work and have families. Many others are recent high school graduates.
The TCC/OSU-Tulsa connection gives students the "home advantage". Students can stay at home near family and work while they earn an OSU degree. TCC and OSU-Tulsa help students make a seamless transition between institutions through academic planning, joint scholarships and shared knowledge. To make advising and enrollment easier, TCC has advising staff housed at OSU-Tulsa. TCC representatives provide advising and counseling as well as admissions and enrollment information. Students can complete admission applications and registration for TCC classes. Some TCC classes are even offered on the OSU-Tulsa campus.
Both TCC and OSU-Tulsa are centrally located and have flexible schedules. OSU-Tulsa is minutes from home near downtown, just off I-244 and Highway 75. TCC has four campuses throughout the city - Metro, Northeast, Southeast, and West. Both schools offer a variety of night, weekend and distance learning courses to accommodate your schedule.
Joint Scholarships
TCC and OSU-Tulsa offer joint scholarships that make it easier to afford four years of college. The TCC/OSU-Tulsa Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to incoming TCC students who plan to transfer to OSU-Tulsa to earn a bachelor's degree. For more information, call TCC at 595-7155 or OSU-Tulsa at 594-8355. "
It would be interesting to figure out how you could psychologically connect OSU Tulsa and TCC metro to be in effect part of one campus or related. If there was student housing on OSU Tulsas property, first year students could easily bike or shuttle to TCC metro. Even having TCCs banners and logo half the TCC logo and half the OSU logo could create the feeling that you are going to a place that is part of one over all school.
Just like Union has a middle school and high school that are different campuses but are the same school. TCC OSU metro could be the freshmen sophomore campus and, OSU Tulsa would be the Senior/graduate campus. A TCC OSU metro campus hybrid could be used by OSU Tulsa in promotion and advertising as basically part of its own campus and class/degree offerings.
Oooor better yet OSU Tulsa and TCC could some day merge and become the Tulsa City University. Accepting easy tranfer of class credits from Stillwater, its satellite campus. [
