June 29, 2009
Kokomo, Ind. – Indiana University Kokomo has signed an articulation agreement with Ancilla College that allows Ancilla graduates with an Associate of Science in Education the opportunity to make a seamless transition to the Kokomo campus to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Education.
“IU Kokomo is thrilled to be able to partner with Ancilla College to prepare highly qualified teachers for Indiana’s students,” said Patricia Swails, interim dean of the Division of Education. “This agreement will provide Ancilla graduates with an opportunity to earn an Indiana University degree close to home.”
The agreement allows for licensure in education at three levels – early childhood, elementary, and secondary education. The five areas of study for secondary education majors will include language arts, social studies, mathematics, science, and fine arts/visual arts.
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 in northern Indiana. As chair of the Department of Education at Ancilla College, Sr. Carleen Wrasman, PHJC, was pleased to see the agreement finalized.
“This ‘2+2’ agreement was designed for our education students, who will find this agreement honors the courses taken at Ancilla,” said Wrasman. “I encourage Ancilla graduates to take advantage of this opportunity as they continue their education towards a bachelor’s degree and a teaching license.”
Indiana University Kokomo serves a seven county, primary service area in north central Indiana. The campus offers more than 40 academic programs including four graduate degrees.
