Lindenwood announced its ownership of a technical college in Madison Heights, Michigan in an email on Thursday, March 30.  

“Lindenwood Education System, the non-profit parent entity of Lindenwood University, has completed its acquisition of Dorsey College,” Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Bethany Alden-Rivers said in an email. “Lindenwood Education System is now the parent organization of both Dorsey College and its existing Lindenwood University.” 

Dorsey College is a nationally accredited institution that provides career and technical training programs in technology, medicine, skill trades, culinary arts, and cosmetology.  

“This is a historic moment for both institutions which have a shared vision for providing learner-centric education,” President John Porter said. “A key part of our strategy is to expand into the ‘just-in-time’ learner space, and Dorsey’s 89-year history of providing exceptional career-focused education is a perfect fit.” 

Dorsey College is the oldest career college in Michigan and currently serves more than 1,800 students in the state.
