Holland degree info session scheduled

Prospective students can get details about Grand Valley State University's new degree completion program at the Meijer Campus in Holland in an information session on Monday, March 10 from 6-8 p.m.

Grand Valley has partnered with Grand Rapids Community College to expand academic program offerings at its Meijer Campus in Holland to help non-traditional students earn degrees. The new initiative is aimed primarily at adults who have already earned some college credit. The new program will offer convenient, flexible, and alternative formats and scheduling options.

Grand Valley is offering a flexible degree completion program through its Department of Liberal Studies beginning with the Fall 2008 semester. The program allows students to build on what they have already completed, whether at Grand Valley or any other accredited college or university. It lets students build a unique degree that suits their own interests. Examples of student designed emphasis areas include business, leadership and ethics, creativity and communication arts, and global and cultural studies.

GRCC will offer general education courses on the Meijer Campus in Holland. The partnership will take advantage of existing consortium arrangements to include financial aid, equivalent courses and concurrent enrollment.

Grand Valley has been offering courses in Holland since the 1980's and expanded its Holland offerings when the university's Meijer Campus opened in 1997.
