Waldorf College Title III

HEMS assisted Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa, in obtaining a Title III grant. Waldorf College is a private four-year college affiliated with the Lutheran Church that provides a residential, liberal arts experience for 600 students. AED is assisting Waldorf College in turning around a six-year decline in enrollment by re-establishing the College as a student-oriented BS/BA-granting college that is equally committed to the liberal arts and professional preparation.

With $1.8 million in Title III development funding support over the next five years, Waldorf College seeks to enroll more students, improve the retention of lower-division students by developing three new bachelor’s degrees in biology, secondary education science, and psychology, and upgrade related laboratories and library resources. A faculty development program is intended to help faculty integrate instructional technologies and explore distance delivery opportunities as well as enable faculty to identify and implement acadmenic assessment strategies and measures appropriate for baccalaureate degree program.
