OU at Macomb University Center

Through a visionary general education program, Oakland University students begin building a broad based undergraduate education through a combination of liberal arts, professional education and cultural and social experiences. Research programs and internships prepare students to succeed in their careers or graduate studies.

The University Center partnership program is a unique plan devised by Macomb Community College. Since 1991, the program has been offered in partnership with four-year colleges and universities providing Macomb County residents increased access to advanced education through a mix of bachelor's and master's degree programs. Macomb Community College maintains the buildings, while Oakland University, and the other partner institutions, provide the curriculum and faculty. For more information on the partnership programs, visit www.macomb.edu.

In 2006, Oakland University and Macomb Community College expanded its partnership by launching the state's first concurrent enrollment program named, Macomb 2 Oakland (M2O). The program is uniquely designed to help move students toward completion of their bachelor's degree more quickly and to help ease the burden of college costs.
