From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Midland Lutheran College (Fremont, Nebraska) is a private liberal arts college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. According to the Carnegie Foundation classification system, MLC is a professions plus arts and sciences classification.

Its mission is to "inspire people to learn and lead in the world with purpose."

History

The college was founded 1883 in Atchison, Kansas, by German Lutheran immigrants. The school moved to Fremont in 1919. In 1962, Luther College in Wahoo, Nebraska, merged with Midland Lutheran.

Midland now offers almost 50 majors and programs, and is known for the strength of its nursing and education programs. The business program, especially in accounting, is another area in which Midland Lutheran College excels.

Responding to the ever-changing needs of higher education students, Midland has added several new programs of late.

In 2007, the college launched Midland iMpact, an adult degree completion program. Midland iMpact provides a more flexible, accelerated alternative for those who started, but never finished college, to obtain their Bachelor's Degree.

In the summer of 2008, Midland Lutheran College began to offer Online courses. Primarily designed for students seeking to complete their degree, Midland Online is also an accelerated, flexible method for finishing a degree.

The latest area of growth is the recent announcement of Midland's first graduate program. The Master's of Professional Accounting program begins in Fall 2008. Designed to appeal to a wide range of students, from high school seniors to working accountants, the MPA program will help make an already strong accounting program that much more appealing.

Traditional

Midland Lutheran College offers more than 50 programs and majors for students seeking more than just a basic education. Born in the liberal arts tradition, Midland strives to provide each graduate with the Foresight and Insight required to lead in their respective fields.
