What tips do you have for online business students who are beginning the transfer process to Oregon State?
“Ask questions. There are so many individuals that want to help you succeed. Higher education is confusing, and for transfer students, having to navigate two or more colleges, it can add another layer of confusion.
“Also, once you become a student, engage with your instructors and check in with your Ecampus advisor. Resources within the College of Business and OSU can support students in reaching their academic and career goals.
“Finally, the earlier you can start the admission process ahead of wanting to start at OSU, the smoother the transition will be.”
Why is Oregon State a good destination for community college and other types of transfer students interested in online business degrees?
“Typically transfer students aren’t able to connect with a transfer advisor, receive an unofficial credit evaluation and get support directly from the college that houses their program of interest prior to being an admitted student. Oftentimes, to receive many of these services, a student must apply for admission and be admitted.
“The COB recognizes that the more information and support students have ahead of even applying for admission, it will hopefully make the process streamlined and keep the student informed.”
Which support resources do you wish more Ecampus online business students knew they have access to?
“Ecampus business students have many of the same resources as campus-based students, but it does mean Ecampus students have to take a little more initiative. For example, if a student wants to further discuss career opportunities, work on their résumé, view job postings, the COB Career Success Center is a great resource.
What are some of the most common questions from students?
“The most common question is, ‘How do my previously completed college credits transfer into OSU and the COB, and how many credits remain?’ ” Beyond this, other common questions include the costs associated with their education, how proctored exams work, scholarship opportunities and more details on available programs.”
In 12 words or fewer, what’s the No. 1 key to succeeding as an Ecampus online business student?
“Asking questions and outreaching for support at the first sign of uncertainty.”
