Frequently Asked Questions

How is Linked Degree different from transfer programs that are currently in place?

Linked Degree is a college experience that builds upon OSU's current transfer guides and Transfer Maps by providing advising, student services and other opportunities from the moment a student starts at Tulsa Community College until they graduate with their OSU bachelor's degree. The program creates a comprehensive public bachelor's degree pathway in Tulsa and provides students with flexibility, support and practical experience.

Who is Linked Degree for?

Linked Degree can be for anyone who wants to earn an OSU bachelor's degree. This includes high school students concurrently enrolled in TCC classes, TCC students who want to earn an OSU degree while remaining in Tulsa and professionals interested in advancing or changing careers by earning a bachelor's degree.

How will Linked Degree help Tulsa?

A recent Market Street report showed the Tulsa metropolitan area 7.5 percentage points behind the rest of the nation in 25 to 44-year-olds with bachelor’s degrees. Linked Degree aims to improve that number by increasing access to bachelor’s degrees and helping students graduate. Additionally cost savings from partnering resources provides the opportunity to invest in new bachelor's degree programs tailored to the needs of the Tulsa-area economy.
