WESTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY MONMOUTH
High School Based College Credit/ Willamette Promise
Willamette Promise (WP) got its start in 2014 with a Regional
Promise Replication Grant from the Oregon Department of Education.
Its goals are to expand opportunities to earn accelerated credit,
enhance career- readiness and college-going culture in Oregon’s
schools and communities, and strengthen coordination and
collaboration across educational sectors. Most of all, we seek to
build each student’s confidence in his or her ability to succeed in
college by awarding college credit when a student demonstrates
college-level learning as defined by college faculty. Our
organizational structure is unique in Oregon. The Willamette
Education Service District (WESD) houses WP’s administrative core
and provides extensive human and technical infrastructure to
support the delivery of WP courses and connect partnering
universities with K-12 school districts throughout our region. This
innovative arrangement has allowed WP to scale up in sustainable
ways while maintaining the quality of learning and credits
awarded.
