Northern Oklahoma College is partnering with the University Center in Ponca City for the newly created Weekend College for Spring 2021.
The new program offers college credit classes on Friday evenings and Saturdays. Students can earn credits for an Associate of Science degree in Arts and Sciences — General Studies within a 2-year cycle.
In addition to onsite at the University Center, all Weekend College classes are also offered through sections of NOC’s Online Live, allowing students who otherwise could not attend in person in Ponca City the flexibility to participate in the program.
Classes for Weekend College meet Friday evening and all-day Saturday over three weeks. Class times are Friday from 5:30 p.m. — 9:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 am. — noon and 1:30 p.m. — 6 p.m.
“These classes are designed to give students another option for completing an associate degree around busy life schedules when jobs, family time, and other activities may conflict with traditional day and night courses,” said Dr. Pam Stinson, Vice President for Academic Affairs.
University Center Chief Executive Officer Adam Leaming is excited for the new venture.
“The UC has historically sought to serve the non-traditional student,” Learning said. “Now with NOC’s weekend in person format, we can expand our portfolio of services to include a new group of students who seek that in person college experience that can have profound impacts on a person’s future while at the same time allowing them to continue juggling their work and personal life.”
Spring 2021 classes offered in the Weekend College format include Orientation, English Composition II, Math Applications, Introduction to Psychology, Late American History, Introduction to Oral Communication, Introduction to Health, Education & Wellness, and Introduction to Process Technology. The program assists non-traditional students who cannot attend classes during a traditional Monday-Friday timeframe and wish to obtain an associate degree.
