Op-Ed: Offering a Degree of Change through Olympic College
What鈥檚 a class without a classroom worth?
Increasingly, it鈥檚 worth a college degree for students who otherwise couldn鈥檛 have one.
When 23 students graduate today with Western Washington University bachelor鈥檚 degrees in human services, they鈥檒l be the last students to have earned them from teachers in Olympic College classrooms. Beginning next January, online learning will replace traditional teacher/classroom instruction for Kitsap and Olympic peninsula students in the four-year 草榴社区 degree program. Online teaching will be supplemented with in-person seminars at Olympic College and at Peninsula Community College in Port Angeles.
