COC University Center To Host Virtual Open House With Partnering Universities

College of the Canyons is set to host a virtual open house at the end of October in the Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook University Center for prospective students interested in earning a bachelor’s or master’s degree through the center’s partner institutions, officials said Thursday.

The open house is set for Oct. 30 from 3 to 4 p.m., where attendees are set to listen to presentations by university representatives and learn more about the financial aid, admission and application process, according to the college.

“Now is the perfect time to go back to school to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree,” said University Center Director Cathy Ritz. “This open house event will demonstrate how doable getting a degree really is at the University Center.”

Since the program launched in 2002, it has enabled students to earn advanced degrees without leaving the Santa Clarita Valley, according to officials.

Over 3,700 students have graduated from the programs offered by the University Center’s partners, which includes University of La Verne, Brandman University and National University.

The current 110,000-square-foot facility which opened in 2009 continues to offer bachelor’s, master’s and credential/certificate programs from various public and private universities, all of which have received approval and accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), according to the college.

Cited as the college’s solution to the lack of upper-division, graduate school and continuing education programs in the area, the University Center was established with a goal to increase student access to advanced degrees by forging partnerships with surrounding four-year colleges and universities, according to officials.

Those institutions then make their academic programs available to students through courses offered at College of the Canyons.
