AUBURN — Cayuga Community College (CCC) and Onondaga Community College (OCC) today announced an agreement that allows CCC students to earn an associate degree in health-information technology at OCC.
The agreement is in response to higher workforce demand for health-information technicians specializing in medical records in the regions that the Auburn school serves.
Under the agreement, CCC students can take their liberal-arts classes at the Auburn campus and complete their degree requirements at OCC both online through the State University of New York (SUNY) Learning Network (SLN) and through on-site clinical-lab instruction, the schools said in a joint news release.
“Our ability to collaborate and share resources with peers is one of the great strengths of the SUNY system, and we’re pleased to work in partnership with Onondaga to provide an easy option for our students to complete a degree in this high-demand field,” Anne Herron, provost and VP for academic affairs at Cayuga Community College, said in the news release.
Students enrolling at CCC for the fall 2013 semester can begin taking advantage of the new agreement, the schools said.
