ADRIAN – Adrian College has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ann Arbor Institute of Religion, sponsored by Seminaries and Institutes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that allows certain religious education courses to transfer to Adrian College.
Under the new agreement, Adrian College will support students who choose to take courses independently through the Church Educational System’s Institutes of Religion, including courses accepted for transfer at schools such as Brigham Young University.
Because the institutes operate separately from the college, coursework will be completed outside the Adrian College registration system and may be submitted for transfer evaluation upon completion.
A maximum of 14 credit hours of approved CES Institutes of Religion or Church-affiliated university religion coursework may be applied toward the requirements for an Adrian College bachelor’s degree.
John B. Larsen, President of the Ann Arbor Michigan Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said the institute was interested in partnering with Adrian College because of its long history of pairing faith with education.
The agreement was signed on Thursday, March 12th by Scott Grimes, Ann Arbor Institute Director and Coordinator for Seminaries and Institutes of the United States Northeast Area, and Adrian College President Jeffrey Docking.
