The Education Double Degree

In this program, you’ll earn two undergraduate degrees at the same time: one in your chosen field; the other in education. This program is a partnership between the LBCC Education Department and the College of Education at Oregon State University.

“OSU and LBCC are proud to be some of the most seamless partners in Oregon. We have a long history of creating student-centered pathways between our institutions.” —Nell O'Malley, Oregon State University, College of Education, Director of Teacher Licensure
