Ameritas College Educational Services, LLC is a new joint venture of
Brandman University (part of the Chapman University System) and
University Ventures Fund. The joint venture enabled Brandman University
to establish Ameritas College, Brandman’s fifth college. Ameritas
College offers affordable, high-quality bachelor of arts degree
programs delivered simultaneously with English language instruction for
Hispanic working adults
for whom cost and language proficiency are major barriers to a college degree.
According to Sara Martinez-Tucker, former Under Secretary for the
U.S. Department of Education and former CEO of the Hispanic Scholarship
Fund, Ameritas College is on track to help Hispanic working adults break
the cycle of under-education and gain the preparation to effectively
compete in a multicultural workforce.
“We are making a college degree accessible through a combination of a
dual language platform and an outstanding team of leaders experienced
in serving the unique needs of Hispanic students. Whether it is a
working adult looking to advance his career or an employer looking to
develop and strengthen its workforce, Ameritas College brings a much
needed educational option to our rapidly growing Hispanic community,”
said Martinez-Tucker, Ameritas College Educational Services, LLC Board
Chair.
