Off-Campus Programs

Off-Campus Programs    

Andrews University has a long history of partnering with Seventh-day Adventist educational and church institutions through off-campus programs. The University delivers these programs in various domestic and international locations.

Partnerships and Accreditation

Many of the Andrews University schools have partnerships with educational institutions in North America and abroad, authorized by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Higher Learning Commission and other controlling organizations. The types of partnerships include academic monitoring of existing institutional programs, extension campuses, and examination centers for graduate and undergraduate education. The programs of study vary from individual courses in a variety of disciplines to full degree programs.

Details of specific courses, approved curricula and programs are available from the Office of Off-Campus Programs. The Off-Campus Programs Committee reviews all University policies related to such affiliations and extensions. Once accepted into an Andrews University program, students may transfer between home and extension campuses.
