Announcement from Bluffton University

Bluffton University and University of Findlay are actively working towards a Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) Change of Control application with anticipated submission in May 2025.

Per federal regulations released in 2023, the higher education merger process is completed in multiple phases. While both institutions originally anticipated merger completion by Fall 2025, these updated regulations extend the timeline.

After the Change of Control application is submitted, both institutions enter an interim period, during which they will continue to plan the alignment that will occur post-merger. During this time, neither Bluffton nor Findlay can make any substantive changes to Bluffton curriculum or programs and Bluffton students continue their current educational pathways.

Bluffton University announcement

Bluffton University students can now follow two specialized tracks to earning their Master of Nutrition and Dietetics (MND). The two specialized tracks include eating disorders or sports nutrition. These two tracks will allow Bluffton University students to gain specific knowledge in two growing fields of nutrition and dietetics.  

“At Bluffton University you can complete all coursework to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in five years, obtaining both a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics,” said Bethany Dario, director of nutrition and dietetics.  “Within these degreed programs students can elect to narrow their studies in two tracks, sports nutrition or eating disorders. This educational focus better prepares students by offering them opportunities to engage in supervised learning experiences within their specialization.”

Dr. George Lehman ’69, professor emeritus of business and founder of the Bluffton MBA program, received the Faculty/Staff Service Award at the annual President's Society Banquet during 2024 Homecoming weekend.

Dr. George Lehman received his undergraduate degree from Bluffton in 1969. Lehman chose to attend Bluffton because of the pure love he had for the institution. He was the third person in his family to attend Bluffton, so coming here just felt "right." From the campus to academics and everything in between, Lehman knew there was something special about Bluffton and a place he could call home forever.

“I love Bluffton,” said Lehman. “I had a very good experience during my time here. I made many friends and had great experiences with my professors. Just the spirit on campus is so good.”

In 1994, Lehman received a call from the academic dean at Bluffton about a job opening in the business department. Lehman knew he had to take this opportunity to teach at his alma mater. After 25 years, Lehman retired from Bluffton in 2020 and earned the title professor emeritus of business.
