Degree Partnerships in Healthcare with other Community Colleges

Tillamook Bay Community College has developed partnerships with several colleges and Adventist Health Tillamook to provide training for several healthcare occupations in Tillamook County. These certificates and degrees are granted by partner colleges, but TBCC offers program prerequisites, general education requirements, related coursework, and sometimes program courses. The programs are all offered predominantly or completely through distance learning so that students can complete the programs while still residing in Tillamook County. These are programs that TBCC is unable to support independently because of limited opportunities for required clinical experiences in Tillamook County. All programs require application to the partner college and to the specific program. In order to ensure that students are able to complete required clinical experiences in Tillamook County, admissions to each program from Tillamook County are limited to one to eight students per year.
