College has become so expensive, students look for a variety of ways to bring down the bill... including spending time at community college before transferring to a four-year school.
Southern Oregon University wants those students on its own campus, so SOU just introduced a three-year program for students from Jackson and Josephine Counties.
The "Pledge Program" offers support, assistance, and a faster (and presumably cheaper) track to a degree. SOU outreach/engagement director Jeanne Stallman visits with the details.
