ADMISSIONS UPDATE FROM A.C. PASADENA
With so many qualified applicants applying to Ambassador College this year,
the Admissions Committees have had a very challenging responsibility in
selecting students for admission for the 1982-83 college year. Over 2,100
applications were requested from the two campuses with 760 applications
actually being mailed back to the Pasadena campus and 375 being mailed back
to the Big Sandy campus.
Of the 760 applicants, Pasadena was able to accept 127 single students
(plus an additional 14 married students). This larger number of accepts
(more than the 40 to 50 originally estimated) became possible when the
Chancellor, Mr. Herbert
w.
Armstrong, made two decisions on March 8th of
this year: 1) he approved the transfer of 50 Pasadena freshmen to Big Sandy
for their sophomore year, and 2) he approved an increase of bed space on
campus to 500 from the current 472.
Big Sandy will be able to have a freshmen class of approximately 165 because
their total enrollment will increase from 192 to approximately 300 this
fall.
Needs of the International Areas
The International Regional Directors have expressed the need for more
laborers to be trained for the rapid growth in the international areas of
God's Work. Therefore, they have recommended specific applicants. The
time is coming when the borders of some countries will be closed, making it
necessary to have native ministers who have been trained at Ambassador.
The Big Sandy campus has not yet received approval from the Department of
Immigration for enrolling international students. Therefore, the Pasadena
campus is giving extra consideration this year to the international needs
of God's Work.
