Is anyone on DU interested in purchasing a college?
BLAIR, Neb. (WOWT) - Midland University announced Friday plans to focus its expansion in the Fremont and Omaha areas, which means the former plans to reopen the Dana College campus in Blair have been scrapped.
Midland cited maintenance costs and "a complicated path to accreditation" as reasons for leaving the Blair campus vacant.
"As the number of high school students headed to college levels off across our state as a whole, growth in demand is occurring most quickly for our Omaha-based programming and just to the west on our Fremont campus," said Midland University President Jody Horner. "We are going to concentrate our growth initiatives where demand is greatest."
The university also mentioned "significant upgrades" coming to the Fremont campus as well as finding a "permanent home for growing MBA, graduate and non-traditional programs in the heart of Omaha" as part of its focus.
