Open House set at NWOSU-Woodward
Whether you are graduating from high school soon or have been in the workplace for years and would like to begin a new career, your answer for higher education is available right here at home.
The Woodward campus of Northwestern Oklahoma State University will hold an open house on Thursday from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
“Sometimes the college admission process can be intimidating,” said Steve Valencia NWOSU’s associate vice president for university relations. “We want to answer any questions that prospective students may have, and help them get on track to reach their career goals.”
Valencia said the open house is an opportunity to meet in a relaxed setting with enrollment specialists, learn more about academic programs and find out about financial aid opportunities.
Representatives from business, accounting, education, psychology and computer science study programs will be available to talk to those interested in these fields and answer questions.
Information will also be available for other degree programs offered at the college including criminal justice, general studies, e-commerce, history/global studies, pre-nursing, social work, sociology and technical management.
The desire of people in the community to obtain these degrees is why NWOSU has offered classes in Woodward since 1996. The new permanent campus site located on 34th Street was completed in time for fall semester classes in 2008. The campus currently has around 300 students enrolled and is continuing to grow.
“I think what makes this campus strong and successful is the community support that we have,” said Dr. Deena Fisher, dean of the Woodward campus.
A convenient location is only one reason for the growing enrollment at the Woodward Campus, said Valencia.
“Northwestern is also very affordable and a great deal of attention is given to the individual student,” he said.
No appointment is necessary to attend the open house.
Valencia said, “It’s going to be a very informal time for people to meet with representatives and ask any questions they may have. We want to help them begin the process to get admitted and working toward a degree.”
