The Access College, a two-year associate degree program at Valparaiso University started as pilot with three students last academic year, now has 26 enrollees. The program, according to university officials, is geared for incoming students who need additional support as they begin their college careers. It was created to open the college experience to a greater number of students while providing those students a direct path to a four-year degree if they so choose.
Students in Valparaiso University's Access College attend the class The Human Experience: Empathy and Dialogue and listen to Professor Chloe Kiser at Valparaiso University, in Valparaiso on Friday, Sept. 1, 2023. .
“I feel like your first two years are your biggest and when you grasp for help and to get your voice, and I felt like the Access College really did that,” said Harrell, who wants to get her bachelor’s degree in nursing, a transition she expects also will be easier since all of the credits from her associate degree will transfer if she continues on at VU.
“The Access College is part of the future. We know we need to shift to meet the market,” Schur said. “A four-year degree is not for everybody.” The stabilization of the student population, Schur said, is the result of several factors, including the university’s intentional marketing strategy, the Access College, becoming an HSI and the university’s leadership.
“It was initially intended for students who wanted to commute to campus,” Lopez said, but 22 of the college’s students are living on campus and four are commuting. The majority of the students are from Northwest Indiana.
