2 schools to combine operations

MUSKOGEE — Two colleges have agreed to combine their operations in Muskogee.

Connors State College and Northeastern State University have agreed to share Northeastern State University's Muskogee campus and create a base of service for their combined 23 academic programs.

NSU President Don Betz said the collaboration will help produce more college graduates who will help meet the region's needs and advance its residents' annual earnings.

Connors President Donnie Nero said he expects Connors' nursing program to begin offering its classes at NSU-Muskogee in January.

The transition for the other programs is still in planning stages, with the intent being to have all of Connors' operation in place by January 2011.
