Grace College and Ancilla College Sign Articulation Agreement – November 15, 2011
Grace College, Winona Lake, Indiana and Ancilla College, located in Donaldson, Indiana, signed an Articulation Agreement on November 15 to allow Ancilla graduates to continue their education in Grace’s GOAL (Grace Opportunities for Adult Learners) degree completion program. The Ancilla graduates can enroll in the GOAL program and earn a B.S. in Management through Grace College.
Dr. Ronald L. May, President of Ancilla College and Dr. Ronald E. Manahan, President of Grace College & Theological Seminary signed the agreement in the Orthopaedic Capital Center on the Grace College campus.
The articulation agreement provides opportunities for Ancilla College graduates to complete their B.S. in Management through Grace College’s GOAL program. The GOAL program is an excellent opportunity for Ancilla graduates by offering the flexibility of an entirely online program or the traditional educational format of a physical campus, depending on the student’s individual needs and preferences. Both options use a cohort model, allowing students to be a part of a community of learners.
Grace Director of Online Education, Tim Ziebarth, is excited about the articulation and the opportunities it provides to new students. “The Grace/Ancilla collaboration is representative of the shift in Indiana Institutions of Higher Education towards partnerships. Five to ten years ago, students did not see these types of agreements between colleges. We’re making headway in the right direction in providing student-centered solutions to educational needs.”
Founded in 1937 by the Catholic religious congregation of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, Ancilla College is a two-year liberal arts college located on an idyllic campus in Donaldson, Indiana. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and is chartered to grant the Associate of Arts Degree (AA), the Associate of Science Degree (AS), the Associate of Science in Nursing Degree (ASN), and the Associate of Liberal Studies Degree (ALS).
