Another piece from The Oregonian covers a recent development in how transfer credit between community and four-year colleges is received. Portland Community College and Portland State University struck a deal to award associate degrees to transfer students that have fulfilled two-year degree program requirements. This deal, which also honors the coursework of prior transfer students, results from a statewide pilot project to recognize reverse transfer agreements, funded by a $450 million grant from the Lumina Foundation. The Oregon University System (OUS)and Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development (CCWD) are working together on the program, which they hope to scale up to all of Oregon's community colleges. The PSU and PCC partnership is the fourth pilot project implemented this year. Partnerships already exist between Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University; Blue Mountain Community College, Treasure Valley Community College, and Eastern Oregon University; and Klamath Community College and Oregon Institute of Technology. A recent press release from OUS and CCWD contains more details about the reverse transfer project.
