How personalized success coaching helps OSU Ecampus computer science students succeed<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/h2>\n

Whether you enroll in Oregon State University\u2019s online bachelor’s program in computer science<\/a> or our online applied computer science postbaccalaureate program<\/a>, you can be sure you\u2019re choosing one of the best. From world-class instructors to cutting-edge coursework and a diverse set of peers from around the globe, we at Oregon State Ecampus strive to deliver an experience all our own.<\/p>\n

Above all, students who\u2019ve pursued a top-ranked computer science degree online from Oregon State share one key factor in their success: a solid support network.<\/p>\n

We take that to heart. We\u2019ve made it our mission to provide a support system that makes a difference for every online computer science student. And it starts with success coaches.<\/p>\n

98% of Ecampus students who partner with a success coach report feeling more prepared<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As an OSU Ecampus computer science student, you\u2019ll have access to a team of success coaches who know you, give personalized advice and will help you craft a customized plan to achieve your academic goals.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how this partnership works in practice:<\/p>\n

Five impacts Ecampus student success coaching will have on you<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. You\u2019ll gain new perspective. <\/strong>Coaches help you work through challenges in the online computer science program through knowledge gained from past student experiences and self-reflection. When given the space to talk through challenges and share victories, you\u2019ll learn so much about yourself.<\/li>\n
  2. Your work with a coach is personalized for you. <\/strong>Each meeting with a success coach is one-on-one, and you decide what you\u2019ll talk about and which challenges you\u2019d like to tackle. Coaches will give you strategies for success that are based on your roadblocks, skills and interests. Moreover, a coach works with you to practice and grow your new success toolkit.<\/li>\n
  3. It\u2019ll help you thrive. <\/strong>With success coaches who know the ins and outs of the online computer science program including unique tools, events and resources, you\u2019ll be poised for success. Add in the collaboration between your coach and your computer science advisor, and you\u2019ve got a support team you can count on.<\/li>\n
  4. You\u2019ll see a difference. <\/strong>We\u2019re constantly striving to make our services worth your time and our effort, and we survey students who have met with a success coach to see how we did. The results: 98% of Ecampus students who partner with a success coach report feeling more prepared and plan to collaborate with a coach again in the future.<\/li>\n
  5. You can access a coach quickly and easily. <\/strong>When you enroll in Oregon State\u2019s online computer science program, you\u2019ll receive an invitation to schedule your first coaching session. After that, you can schedule a 20- or 40-minute session with your coach through the Ecampus website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As an Oregon State student studying computer science online, you\u2019ll network with students from around the globe who all have one thing in common: a drive to succeed in the classroom and impact the world around them. And with the dedicated support of your Ecampus success coach, you can rest assured that on your journey to graduation, you\u2019ll always have someone to lean on.<\/p>\n
