Iowa Wesleyan University s campus is a short walk away from Southeastern Community College. The two institutions announced a new partnership Tuesday.
Two Iowa institutions announced Tuesday they will form a public-private alliance that will encourage student transfer and aim to boost enrollment at both institutions.
Iowa Wesleyan University, a private liberal arts institution in Mount Pleasant, and Southeastern Community College, a two-year public college in West Burlington, will form the Southeast Iowa Higher Education Alliance. The alliance will operate as an independent nonprofit.
The two institutions will continue to operate independently and maintain their own boards, leadership, employees and programming. Presidents at both hope the alliance will create an easy transfer path from Southeastern to Wesleyan, which are only a five-minute walk apart.
