Owens Community College and the University of Toledo have teamed up to keep the area's best students in NW Ohio.

Owens students will now be able to continue their higher education at UT thanks to a new honors program partnership between the two institutions. Students must maintain a 3.5 GPA and complete a minimum of 15 credit hours of Honors curriculum as part of the partnership.  The Associate's degree graduates must then identify an appropriate course of study consistent with their major as they pursue a bachelor's degree at the University of Toledo.

The program is designed to encourage talented and high-achieving students of OCC to come to UT to complete bachelor's degrees.

Interested students can contact the Owens Honors Program at 567-429-3019 or the UT Honors Program at 419-530-6030.
