New online registration makes signing up even easier

This summer, Dana College is offering area high school students the opportunity to get the jump on college by earning credit for basic requirement classes. As an accredited, four-year liberal arts institution, credit from Dana easily transfers to all types of colleges and universities and helps high school students save money by earning a degree in less time.

“ Dana is a great place to take summer classes,” said Professor Sybille Bartels, associate dean for student success. “We’re just 20 minutes from Omaha and Fremont, parking is never an issue on our small campus, and our small class sizes and dedicated faculty mean that high school students never feel intimidated.”

This year, Dana has made it even easier for high school students to enroll in summer courses by going through the entire process online. By visiting www.dana.edu/nondegree, students can read course descriptions and sign up for classes by filling out a short form. Students can pay for the class at Dana’s Business Office on or before their first class session.

Dana is offering a wide variety of four-week classes that would be good choices for high school students, including Principles of Accounting I, Physical Chemistry, Interpersonal Communication, Principles of Macroeconomics, Principles of Microeconomics and Intermediate Algebra. Students can also earn an entire year of German language credit in just eight weeks by taking German I and II.

Summer classes are just $190 per credit hour. Most courses are offered for three credits.

“ Dana summer classes are a great way for high school students to see what college classes will be like, without worrying about finding their way around a huge campus or being lost in class with 100 students,” Bartels said. “Dana’s classes are personal, supportive places, where the instructors not only know their students’ names, but know their learning styles and their grasp of the material covered. Dana faculty won’t let you fail if you don’t want to.”

Dana College is a place where all students actively participate. They make things happen — in their own lives and in the lives of others. Through a highly supportive faculty and campus community, Dana students develop interpersonal skills, leadership abilities, and other important values and knowledge as they make choices about their future. Dana’s outstanding academic programs in business, education and social work, among others, ensure that students have the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to pursue challenging careers or placement in graduate school.

Dana College is a private, liberal arts institution in Blair, Neb. To learn more, visit www.dana.edu.
