Compass College closing, students being transitioned to Calvin University
(GRAND RAPIDS, Mich)
Compass College of Film and Media is closing it’s doors for good, but a forthcoming partnership with nearby Calvin University will allow film students to transfer, bringing the credits they have already earned with them.
Compass has operated in some capacity in West Michigan for more than 25 years.
The school offered programs to teach the technical and creative aspects of film and video production, with an emphasis on the ability to work in Michigan.
Calvin and Compass announced back on June 21 that they had signed a letter of intent to enter into the partnership.
Under the partnership, all Compass College students are guaranteed admission to Calvin’s School of Communications.
Compass students will pay the same tuition they were expecting to pay at Compass, and all of their previous credits earned will transfer.
Compass students will also be able to live in Calvin’s student housing if they choose to.
