Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Ancilla College (MUAC) has received a $100,000 gift to support the launch of the college’s new Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education program.
The gift, received from an anonymous donor, will accelerate the launch of the nationally recognized Fred S. Klipsch Educators College at the MUAC campus. The Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education will be the second four-year degree offered at the MUAC campus, and university administrators have already started partnering with local school corporations to meet the educator needs of the community.
“We are extremely thankful to this donor who has made a significant investment, not only in MUAC but in the educational outlook in northern Indiana,” said Natalie Tucker, Ph.D., vice president and dean of Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Ancilla College. “With this support, we can immediately begin implementing the curriculum, providing scholarships to aspiring educators, and working with our local school corporations to get more students in classrooms.”
