Karen Ferrara wants to buy a regionally accredited university

That's what her advertisement in the Chronicle this week says. Fewer than 500 students, Bachelor's and Master's programs, anywhere in the US, price under $5 million. My guess is that the intent it to create an online or distance program. I very much doubt, with those specs, there will be any takers, especially if real estate was involved. When the founder of what is now Capella had a similar request 7 or 8 years ago, the only thing that turned up, I recall, was a junior college in New Hampshire at nearly three times Ms. Ferrara's maximum.

 

Well, I'd like to buy a 747-200 for the same price, but I really don't see it happening!

a real trinity college might be available

Trinity College in Burlington Vermont was a legitimate catholic womans college. It offered education, human services bachelors degress and a few masters degrees. It was just entering distance learning when it ran out of money.
The campus buildings and equipment may still be forsale. The books from the library were donated to another catholic school in Maine.
I think the good sisters would accept an offer.

 

Goddard is looking for a partner

The small Goddard College is looking for partners. Maybe they could team up.
Goddard College was an early pioneer in alternative ways of looking at the bachelor degree education.

 

Who is Karen Ferrara?
