According to Bridgman, the Registered Apprenticeship program is also a great opportunity for students who need financial aid as it allows them to “earn and learn”—they can work while they’re learning and then apply what they learn in the classroom in the field. “[This] puts us right in the middle to help really guide intensively a student and making sure that they really are taking the right classes at the right time and also measuring their progress at a company,” he says. “We are seeing companies wanting to adapt and evolve and change their recruiting practices and what we already watched with our Registered Apprenticeship is that the retention continues to grow.” Bridgman is hoping to see more companies get involved with the program to help students move forward in their professional careers. “A company wants someone to move forward in their professional career and get really good at their job, so if we can

to earn two-year associate degrees, fouryear bachelor’s degrees and two-year master’s degrees. Famous for its ministry education and training, GBSC has partnered up with several different Christian schools as well as churches in the Cincinnati area—such as the Church on Fire in Harrison—so that future ministers can start their professional journeys while at the same time pursuing their academic careers through taking accredited classes at God’s Bible School and College.
“Our bottom line is preparing people for ministry and preparing them to be out there and to be trained,” says Matt Hallam, vice president for advancement at GBSC. “We are finding the education really has changed. It is not so much bringing people to our school and teaching them all the things they need to know and then sending them out to the workforce but actually going out to the community and finding out [what] people are doing with their education and that is what we are trying to do.”
God’s Bible School and College also offers a dual-degree option for students, which Hallam calls the school’s “buy one get one” program, as students pay the cost of pursuing one degree but receive two when they graduate. The school partnered up with Indiana Wesleyan University to implement the program for its students, who must earn 70-80 credits at GBSC and another 40-60 credit hours at IWU to receive the dual diploma. The school hopes that the program will motivate and help students to accomplish their dream of becoming a minister while still having a professional career in a field like health care or business administration, for example. GBSC says that it should take students four to five years to complete the program and earn both degrees.

MIAMI UNIVERSITY Miami University plans to have a new Honors College by fall 2021 that will be an intensive research-focused program guided by the university’s qualified professors. The Honors College will only be offered to high-achieving students to give them an experience similar to attending an Ivy League institution—fitting for a university that was one of the original eight “Public Ivy” schools identified by Richard Moll in 1985. Therefore, students will have to complete assessments, including a leadership project, to show the talents they can offer to the community. Students will also have to come up with a thesis before they graduate.
Miami University The Honors College will be accepting about 400 students, including students that receive full-ride scholarships, making it the largest one in the nation. Miami University
will also be offering activities and campus events for students to experience and enjoy college life with other honor students. “The Honors College will be an incubator where undergraduates create now, not waiting until after graduation,” says Gregory Crawford, president of Miami University. “Miami’s students will be architects of their future.” The Honors College offers a residential college environment, where students will be living with other students in resident halls and engage in campus events like student and community competitions, intramural sports teams and more. According to Crawford, the Honors College’s faculty will motivate students to pursue their unique dreams and help them build their futures. “Our faculty will empower our students with mentorship support and freedom to write their first novel, construct their first invention, conduct their first orchestra, write their first play, or start their first company, all while they complete their degree,” says Crawford.

Students who share a passion for more than one major will receive career counseling and be able to participate in a class with first-year students. In that class, students will work on a project that helps them explore their passions by engaging in different co-curricular activities. Students can choose from 10 to 12 different themes to partner up with a related institution. Possible themes include data and analysis, health and medicine, natural systems and more. Enrolling in the Prodesse Scholars Program also gives students access to the University Honors program courses. Students who have previously participated in the program interned at well-known

Eye on the Future MARIAN UNIVERSITY FOCUSES ON NURSING PROGRAM AS DEMAND GROWS By David Holthaus
M
arian University in Indianapolis is a small, liberal arts college with a difference. The university has offered a highly ranked nursing program for more than 40 years and, thanks largely to partnerships with hospital systems in the region, had placed 96 of its latest nursing graduates within six months of graduating. Marian maintains a close relationship with Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, a Catholic health care provider in Indianapolis that operated its own nursing program before linking up with Marian’s program. It also has forged a strong relationship with the Franciscan Health system of hospitals, says Mark Apple, Marian’s vice president for marketing communications. “Being a Catholic university gives us an advantage in that we have strong relationships with Catholic health care providers in the area,” he says. “They are hungry to hire our graduates.” Marian supplies other health care systems with its nursing graduates, Apple says, 70

including Community Health Network and Hendricks Regional Health. “We’ve been able to strengthen those partnerships since 2010 since we opened a medical school here,” Apple says. That year, Marian opened a school of osteopathic medicine, the first such school to open at a Roman Catholic university. The two programs complement each other and have made Marian a key provider of skilled talent for health care organizations in Indiana and beyond. “We’ve got strong partnerships with local hospitals to get our medical school students placed in residencies throughout the state,” Apple says. “That’s only increased our exposure as a university to those health care providers and opened up additional opportunities for our nursing students,” Apple says. Nursing is the largest program at Marian, a school of about 3,600 students that touts its small class sizes. A chronic shortage of nurses has allowed its graduates to readily find jobs after passing the required state nursing examination. “We look to the community to help us identify what the needs are going to be in terms of jobs for the next 10 to 20 years out,” Apple says. “We’ll only see the nursing shortage increase in coming years as baby boomers retire. They will be retiring from nursing,

but they will also require more health care. There’s going to be a greater need for nurses and there will be jobs opening up.” Marian also offers students who already have bachelor’s degrees from regionally accredited institutions the option of earning a Bachelor of Science in nursing through its accelerated program. Accelerated students can complete the nursing portion of the program in 16 months through a balance of coursework and hands-on experience in the university’s labs and onsite at clinical agencies. Marian also offers a registered nurse to Bachelor of Science in nursing completion program that enables registered nurses who have associate’s degrees or diplomas from an accredited program the opportunity to earn bachelor’s degrees and grow professionally. Marian also offers graduate programs in nursing, including a Master of Science in nursing education that prepares graduates to assume nurse educator roles in schools of nursing, health care facilities and in the community.

THE STUDY OF GOD BETHANY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OFFERS A NEW MASTER’S DEGREE IN THEOPOETICS By Eric Spangler
A
new master’s degree in theopoetics and writing—the only master’s degree of its kind anywhere—is now available at Bethany Theological Seminary. The advanced degree in theopoetics and writing was initiated this year because student interest was so high in its previous theopoetics and theological imagination certificate program, says Scott Holland, the co-director of the master’s degree program in theopoetics and writing. “Many students said, ‘Why can’t we make this a full master’s degree?’” says Holland. So, he and Ben Brazil at the Earlham School of Religion—Bethany’s partner graduate school in Richmond, Indiana—jointly created the new program. Theopoetics, he says, emphasizes the poetics of theology—the study of God and religion. “Theopoetics would suggest that theology is a kind of writing, a kind of creative and constructive writing that intersects with human experience, with a multitude of conversations, stories, possibilities for the way we name God, the way we name ourselves, the way we name others, the way we name our world,” says Holland. To earn the master’s degree in theopoetics and writing students must earn two years worth of credits, he says. But those classes and credits can be earned in several convenient ways. Classes can be taken the traditional way, in the Richmond, Indiana, classroom at

Bethany Theological Seminary, but those same classes can be attended remotely from anywhere in the world via the Zoom video communication app. The semesterlong course can also be taken during three weekend on-campus intensives or during two-week intensives in January, May and August. The classes can be taken online as well, Holland says. “We have a very flexible, nimble educational model for delivery at our school,” he says. The master’s degree in theopoetics and writing is not only flexible in its method of attendance it’s also flexible in terms of what classes students can take to earn the advanced degree. “The program is flexible enough to be student centered and we really want it to be that way so students are not locked into a program where there’s not the ability to choose a number of electives that would address their needs, perhaps their vocational interest and future plans,” Holland says.
Some of the students in the Master of Arts theopoetics and writing degree program are in or are anticipating a ministryrelated vocation, including but not limited to pastoral ministry, he says. Many of the students, from recent college-graduates to older or nontraditional students, are exploring a variety of vocations, including nonpastoral ministry. Some students are already in professional vocations, ranging from nonprofits and social action organizations to high school and university teaching, theater direction and business. “I think there’s hospitable space for persons from many different theological, spiritual perspectives and journeys to enter in together and to study and have lively conversation,” he says. Besides, both Bethany Theological Seminary and Earlham School of Religion have always emphasized that ministry isn’t just pastoral ministry, says Holland. “Any vocation that is pitched in the direction of serving humanity is a form of ministry,” he says. n w w w.
