"Brescia University is a vital piece of the puzzle for our students, commented Dr. Klauber, "providing housing opportunities and the option of a four-year degree is essential to the programs success.

Collaboration between institutions of higher learning is always beneficial to students. This new agreement will ensure that those students who want to transfer to Brescia University will be able to do so as seamlessly as possible, said Fr. Larry.
