Established in 1982, the BVU Marshalltown Center, room 544, is
one of 17 extension campuses of Buena Vista University, Storm Lake.
Working with MCC, the center provides the last 2 years of a
bachelor’s degree. BVU is fully accredited by the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools and is approved by the Iowa
Department of Education and the Veterans Administration.
Freshman and sophomore courses are taken through MCC with
admittance to BVU at the completion of 60 semester hours. Up to 68
hours of community college credit is accepted toward the Bachelor of
Arts (BA) degree. MCC's Associate in Arts (AA) degree satisfies all
BVU general education requirements. Vocational-technical coursework
and work completed during military service is evaluated on an
individual basis.
All courses leading to the four-year degree are held on the MCC
campus and are offered in a format designed to meet the needs of
busy students with family and career obligations. Six eight-week
terms are scheduled annually. Two courses per term constitute
full-time attendance. Most students can complete their bachelor’s
degree in two years under this unique program while continuing their
daytime employment.
Currently, BVU’s Marshalltown Center offers majors in elementary
education, psychology, human services, criminal justice, and
programs in business (accounting, management/entrepreneurship,
management information systems, and finance/banking). The reading,
pre-kindergarten/ kindergarten, middle school, and special education
endorsements are available to certified teachers.
Students planning to complete full four-year programs at MCC and BVU/Marshalltown
are encouraged to plan with counselors from both institutions.
Questions about registration, transfer procedures, degree
requirements or financial aid should be directed to the BVU
Marshalltown Center at (641) 752-0076 or 1-800-798-0076.
