SEWARD, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s Concordia University has joined other colleges in issuing graduation guarantees.

The Seward school promises to cover the cost of courses beyond four years for students who follow personalized graduation plans.

Concordia Provost Jenny Mueller-Roebke told the local media that the school has been doing so for years and that “this is just formalizing it and putting it in writing.”

Midland University in Fremont and Doane College in Crete offer similar guarantees.

Mueller-Roebke says some programs at Concordia aren’t designed to let students graduate in four years. They include music education, for example.
