# LCMS Convention Workbook_St. Louis Missouri_1981_S244 # Machine transcription, uncorrected — CHI Digital Archive (demonstration) 244 HIGHER EDUCATION A most exciting new venture for Concordia is the proposed four-year nursing program leading to a bachelor of science degree. This baccalaureate-level nursing program will be offered jointly by Concordia and West Suburban Hospital College of Nursing. A feasibility study has been prepared and will be considered by the Department of Registration and Education, state of Ilinois, in their March meeting. Assuming that all the planning details can be taken care of, this program is scheduled to be initiated in September of 1982 with recruit- ment for both freshmen and sophomores anticipated. Innovative ideas from the Psychology Department have resulted in anew master of arts program in human services. By using many of the existing courses in the guidance and counseling program and adding a few specialized courses, this new degree program should attract students who are seeking professional training for positions in various church and community agencies. The Education Department has been working for several years on a new master of arts program with emphasis in reading. This specialization should be attractive to many of our Lutheran teachers, as well as public school teachers in our geographic area. The program is currently in the process of being examined and approved through the normal channels at the college. Concordia College is very much involved in long-range planning. With Board of Control authorization, the adminis- tration has organized three separate planning committees for the purpose of accurately describing our present situation and projecting our needs for the next five years. * * * Respectfully submitted, ever mindful of the words of Jesus, the college motto, “If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32).
