UNI to Expand 2+2 Program Due to Grant
Posted 11 August 2008
The U.S. Department of Education
recently awarded $430,348 to the UNI College of Education through the
Fund for the Improvement of Education Awards Program. The grant
will be used to help UNI expand its 2+2 teacher education program to
students statewide.
The teacher education program, which is already established in the
Carroll, Ankeny and Boone, is for students who have family priorities
or fixed job schedules that don't allow them to enroll in a traditional
college program.
Students take two years of classes at their local community colleges to
earn their associate degree and then the equivalent of two years of UNI
courses taught by UNI faculty at a community college or through
distance education classes.
With the help of the federal grant, the program will be looking to
expand in Sioux City, Keokuk, Muscatine, Clinton, Dubuque, Peosta,
Calmar, Ottumwa and Mason City. The university hopes to have between 25
and 35 new students ready to begin the program by the spring 2009
semester. Overall, UNI expects the program to serve between 70 and 80
students when the new class begins this spring.
