Bluffton University's effort to expand an academic option for high school students-at Mennonite as well as public schools-is paying off.
This fall, 89 students are participating in the university's dual-enrollment program, which allows them to earn Bluffton credit by completing Bluffton courses while still at their high schools. That's 70 more students than a year ago, with nearly 70 percent of the total from three predominantly Mennonite schools.
