RE: Missouri Baptist College Names Franklin County Extension

Missouri Baptist College Names Franklin County Extension

April 18, 2000

Previously entitled "Pacific/St.Clair Extension" due to temporary residence in Pacific and an established location in St. Clair, MBC has named its third Missouri extension as "Franklin County Extension". The new title more accurately represents the academic offering the College provides to the greater Franklin County area. "We are here (in Franklin County) to stay and support the educational needs of the area," Dr. Ross-Fisher, Extension Center Dean, states. "The name change is just a simple reflection of who we are serving." The extension has not altered its class offerings, but continues to provide courses in a specialized 2-year program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Tuition at the St. Clair extension is $135 per credit hour. For more information call Dr. Ross-Fisher at (636) 629-4111. Missouri Baptist College also provides extension centers in Troy/Wentzville, Missouri, and Jefferson County, Missouri, in addition to the main West County Campus.
