7. Policy Recommendations / Three Goals • Double the percentage of residents who attain postsecondary degrees or other credentials that link them to success in Michigan’s new economy • Improve the alignment of Michigan’s institutions of higher education with emerging employment opportunities • Build a dynamic workforce of employees who have the talents and skills needed for success in the 21st century

8. Oakland University Expands at Macomb Community College • Announcement at special presentation on August 30, 2005, at the Macomb University Center • Oakland University expands its presence at the Macomb University Center – dubbed OU at Macomb – where students will be able to “dual enroll” at Macomb and Oakland University • “Dual Enrollment makes it easier to get a bachelor’s degree in Macomb County” – OU President Gary D. Russi • “Our students in Macomb County and our future work force will be better for it” – Michigan Lt. Governor John Cherry

9. Next Logical Step – M2O The purpose of the Concurrent Enrollment/Dual Degree program is to increase the number of students who successfully complete both an associate’s degree and baccalaureate degree. This goal is accomplished by allowing students to simultaneously earn credits toward both an associate’s degree and a baccalaureate degree, rather than requiring students to enroll separately for an associate’s degree, and then transfer their earned credits toward a baccalaureate degree. How did we get here from there?
