I'm really impressed by Berea College's work-study model and was wondering if there are other colleges with a similar approach to work and study combined?
Hey there! I'm glad to hear you're interested in the work-study model like Berea College's. There are definitely other schools with similar programs, where work is an integral part of the educational experience. One great example is College of the Ozarks in Missouri, also known as 'Hard Work U,' where students work on campus to cover tuition. Another one is Warren Wilson College in North Carolina, where work and community service are both part of the curriculum.
You might also want to look into Antioch College in Ohio, where work is combined with cooperative education and experiential learning. And let's not forget Alice Lloyd College in Kentucky, which also offers a work-study program to help students with their education costs. Each of these schools has its own unique spin on the work-study model, so I recommend exploring their programs to see which aligns best with your goals and interests. Good luck with your search!
