“This is an opportunity for students to become qualified teachers in three years and teachers with additional credentials who are highly valued in a school system in four years.”
Bluffton University is now offering a path for qualified students interested in teaching to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in four years.
The 3+1 Educator Preparation Program allows early childhood education majors or intervention specialist majors to obtain their teaching licensure and complete their bachelor’s degree in three years.
On Saturday and Sunday, March 10-11, the Bluffton area will have 27 swimmers competing at the Northwest Ohio YMCA-League Championships at Bowling Green State University. They will compete with more than 800 swimmers from the Northwest Ohio league that includes 18 teams from lower Michigan and northwest Ohio.
All of these swimmers are on the Bluffton Sardines summer swim team, but for winter swim, they swim with the Lima YMCA Barracuda Team or the Putnam County YMCA.
Several area students were named to the Dean’s List for fall semester 2017-18 at Ohio Northern University. To be eligible for the Dean’s List, a student must attain a grade point average of 3.5 or higher and be enrolled full-time.
