WINONA LAKE – On Nov. 15, Grace College, Winona Lake, and Ancilla College, Donaldson, signed an articulation agreement to allow Ancilla graduates to continue their education in Grace’s Opportunities for Adult Learners degree completion program.
The Ancilla graduates can enroll in the GOAL program and earn a bachelor’s degree in management through Grace College.
Dr. Ronald L. May, president of Ancilla College, and Dr. Ronald E. Manahan, president of Grace College & Theological Seminary, performed the signing in the Orthopaedic Capital Center on the Grace College Campus.
The GOAL program is an 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 said, “The Grace/Ancilla collaboration is representative of the shift in Indiana Institutions of Higher Education towards partnerships. Five to 10 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.”
