The popularity of community-based university campuses is on the rise as students recognize the benefits of pursuing an education close to home. Traditional and non-traditional students alike are learning that courses taken at a local campus can be an affordable and convenient option.
The Holmes County Higher Education Center, a campus of The University of Akron Wayne College, offers many of the classes needed to get started. The Center is hosting an open house on Thursday, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m., at 88-B E. Jackson St. in downtown Millersburg. Information will be presented on courses, financial aid, degree programs, workforce development, ACT testing, and summer programming for children. Representatives will be available to answer questions.
