College Now (2+2)

In our College Now (2+2) Programs, high school students have the opportunity to earn college credit at the same time as earning standard high school credit. An articulation agreement between Southwestern and all local high schools allows students the opportunity to receive dual high school/college credit for specific courses. Tech Prep courses and programs offer students the possibility of a 4-year career pathway consisting of the last two years of high school plus two years of a community college associate degree program. Dual credit courses provide capable students the opportunity to take transfer level college courses while remaining in the high school setting.

Math & Skills Day

At Math & Skills Day, Southwestern joins with South Coast Educational Service District (SCESD) to bring in-district high school students to campus to compete in a variety of contests. The ten high schools that participate include: Powers, Myrtle Point, Coquille, Reedsport, North Bend, Marshfield, Bandon, Pacific, Gold Beach and Brookings.

Expanded Options

SB 300, Expanded Options, provides eligible high school students early entry into post-secondary education. It also emphasizes specific provisions and priorities for at-risk students.
