AUBURN — Cayuga Community College (CCC) and Onondaga Community College (OCC) today announced an agreement that allows CCC students to earn an associate degree in health-information technology at OCC.
The agreement is in response to higher workforce demand for health-information technicians specializing in medical records in the regions that the Auburn school serves.
Under the agreement, CCC students can take their liberal-arts classes at the Auburn campus and complete their degree requirements at OCC both online through the State University of New York (SUNY) Learning Network (SLN) and through on-site clinical-lab instruction, the schools said in a joint news release.
