The RCC/SOU Higher Education Center building is the location of a unique partnership between the two-year
Rogue Community College (RCC) and four-year
Southern Oregon University (SOU). This location offers classes through either college as well as a Business Center for workforce training, professional development and research. The facility is designed to ease the transition between community college and four-year college attendance. And because the center is located in Medford it provides an opportunity for Medford-based attendees to take classes without having to travel to either the main RCC campus in Grants Pass (40 minutes northwest) or the main SOU campus in Ashland (20 minutes southeast). Per the
website, the center is designed to meet these goals:
- Eliminate perceived barrier between SOU and RCC
- Generate students
- Facilitate student transfer
- Provide innovative curriculum
- Develop effective, desirable classroom space
- Provide learner-centered classroom space
- Increase classroom and office space
- Consolidate services
- Promote diversity
- Offer the building as a model of sustainability
- Build community in downtown Medford
