Is the class scheduleflexible?Many classes are offered in a blended (hybrid) format which combines the best of both worlds - online and on-campus. Hybrid courses allow for face-to-face ac-cess to instructors and fellow students, combined with the convenience and flexibility of online instruction. Generally, classes meet two-to-three evenings a week on select dates, with a portion of the work completed online and the rest delivered in a traditional face-to-face format.

The campus meetings provide students with the oppor-tunity to get to know faculty and other students and to take advantage of the college’s comprehensive campus resources and support services.

Olympic College is proud to offer a new Bachelor of Applied Science in Organizational Leadership and Technical Management degree. Prospective students may apply now for Fall Quarter 2016.

What is an Applied Bachelor’s Degree?Applied bachelor’s degrees fill skills gaps in practical, market-driven fields where job require-ments have advanced beyond the associate degree level. They add junior and senior levels to two-year professional technical education. Students build upon their already valuable two-year degrees to land higher-paying jobs and promotions, while employers get rounded skill sets they seek in bachelor’s degrees.

Is the Organizational Leadership andTechnical Management program right for me?The program is designed to enroll students with a range of pro-fessional technical associate degrees and a diverse set of work experiences and professional goals. It is a practitioner-oriented, applied degree that will prepare students for leadership, management, and supervisory roles in private, public, and nonprofit organizations. This degree is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
