The degrees conferred are a Bachelor of Science in: Mathematics/Secondary Education, Biology/Secondary Education, Chemistry/Secondary Education and Unified Science Secondary Education. The Unified Science/Secondary Education program requires approximately 165 hours, including student teaching. The Mathematics/Secondary Education, Biology/Secondary Education and Chemistry/Secondary Education programs require 138-139 semester hours for graduation, including student teaching.

 
   
  Graduate: Qualified students who have completed a bachelor's degree and are seeking teacher certification may complete the courses and requirements of the program for certification purposes, not for an advanced degree.  
   
  Tuition: The college is dedicated to providing a superior education to qualified students who have financial need. Therefore, working for an education is the continuing distinctive tradition of this college. Each full-time student at C of O works 15 hours per week during the 16 week fall semester and 16 week spring semester. In addition, each full-time student works two 40 hour weeks chosen from the weeks when classes are not in session. In this manner C of O guarantees to meet all of the cost for each full-time student by using earnings from its endowment, operating its own work program, accepting student aid grants, gifts, and other sources. For each full-time student the cost of education is approximately $10,600 per academic year and is met 100% by participating in the work program and a combination of private, institutional and federal/state student aid.
