CSUN, Woodbury to Offer Degree Programs at COC’s University Center

University Center at College of the Canyons continues to generate excitement and build momentum. The newest additions to the roster are Woodbury University and California State University, Northridge, bringing to eight the number of partners.

Cal State Northridge will introduce a master’s degree program in educational administration, and Woodbury will offer an MBA program and a bachelor’s degree program in business and management.

A number of advanced-degree programs have already begun at the college, even though the planned University Center has yet to be built. An interim building for University Center programs was completed in January to meet demand.

The idea behind University Center is to bring bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs from a wide range of universities to the College of the Canyons campus, eliminating the need for local residents to commute to distant campuses

Already, the number of other participating institutions includes California State University, Bakersfield; California State University, Fresno; Chapman University; ELS Language Centers; Nova Southeastern University and University of La Verne.
