COOS BAY, OR – Southwestern Oregon Community College is offering students a chance to take fast-track classes during the winter holiday.

Registration for these classes opens Monday, November 4, 2024.
These classes are ideal for students who need prerequisite courses or who want to accelerate their time to completion, maximize enrollment if they are part-time, or return to or maintain athletic eligibility.
“We’ve heard from our students that they would like options to accelerate learning.
