Accreditation problems for Ocean County College - indigoshuffle - 07-22-2023
I don't know if anybody has noticed, but apparently OCC is in the news because their accreditation is at risk. I called the middle states myself and apparently they cannot guarantee the school will remain open.

Ouch, OCC is/was a good place to take the 'natural sciences' classes for pre-health/pre-med professional programs...

A young lady I know is seriously considering leaving her associates program due to the accreditation issue. I told her it was extremely rare for any school to lose their accreditation but it doesn't seem like she's willing to take the risk. I told her to look at Thomas Edison or Pierpont for an associates since her goal is med school.
If I were in the nursing program there, personally, I would just finish. But everyone's comfortable level with that degree of risk is going to be different.

Double ouch, I would decide quickly, if she's about done, then just finish it, if she's in the early semesters or even in the middle of the program, she should quickly see if there is another program to transfer out to...
