The first two programs are similar in that both offer students the opportunity to work toward a college degree. The College of Liberal Studies is the one part of OCCE that is a full-fledged academic unit offering its own undergraduate and graduate degree programs, which are interdisciplinary in content and nontraditional in format. But the college would welcome hearing from additional faculty members who are supportive of interdisciplinary goals and who have a desire to work with adult students in a nontraditional format. At the present time, this includes graduate programs in public administration, human relations, educational psychology, communications, managerial economics, and social work. Sill, Washington, D.C., Offutt Air Base in Nebraska, Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the Panama Canal, and several sites in the Pacific.
Students frequently are people who work in the military, public agencies, and federal government.
Courses are also offered on the OU campus for part-time, working adult students. Such teaching is generally done during times of minimal campus commitments, e.g., summers, holiday periods, and semester breaks. Currently 117 faculty members and 19 adjunct faculty participate in this program. For additional information, interested faculty members or departments should contact the director at 5-3333. The next two programs, with the exception of one activity in Program Development Services, do not offer work directly related to academic degrees but do offer activities that result in academic course credit for students.
