High school seniors deciding where to attend college in the fall typically spend the month of April reviewing offers of admission, but this year some may have fewer options as more small private schools close because of financial shortfalls.
SAN RAFAEL -- High school seniors deciding where to attend college in the fall typically spend the month of April reviewing offers of admission but this year some may have fewer options as more small private schools close because of financial shortfalls. Some students from Holy Names University in Oakland will transfer to Dominican University later this year after the school closes in May.
HNU's Board of Trustees announced it would end its athletic programs last November and then less than a month later. In a letter to the community, the school's leadership explained that the university was struggling because of rising operational costs, declining enrollment, and an increased need for tuition discounts and institutional financial aid.
Garrison has started training with the soccer team at Dominican and changed majors at her new school. HNU came to an agreement with Dominican to help students complete existing degree requirements. She planned to stay at HNU for three years and tough it out no matter how difficult the transition was for her from a junior college. Now she wonders if she should have stayed at that junior college longer because she was forced to transfer twice to a new school.
"There's also a place for smaller institutions that are less well known that tend to do a really personal job of looking out that no student falls between the cracks," Pitchford told KPIX."A degree can give you the skills not just to get a job but then to invent your next job and to make the argument for your next job."
