Fontbonne University has reached separate agreements with Brentmoor
Retirement Communities and the City of Florissant to bring the university’s
programs for working adults to more convenient locations. With its
main campus in Clayton, Fontbonne University already operated a
satellite campus in South County, and now will hold classes in North
County and St. Charles County as well.
The partnership with Brentmoor expands Fontbonne’s presence in St.
Charles County, offering classes at the new residential community
of Brentmoor Oak Tree Village in St. Peters. In Florissant, the
city and Fontbonne University have formed a private-public joint
venture to bring the university’s OPTIONS and Weekend MBA programs
to the James J. Eagan Center, where a classroom has been designated
specifically for classes. Classes for both the Florissant and St.
Peters programs started this fall.
“These types of cutting-edge relationships benefit everyone,” says
Dr. Dennis Golden, president of Fontbonne University.
Florissant’s mayor, Robert Lowery Sr. added, “When I learned that
nearly 18 percent of all Fontbonne University OPTIONS students were
from Florissant and North County, it did not surprise me. I have
no doubt that Fontbonne’s presence will be embraced by this community.
Our residents have a need for convenience when it comes to their
education and this partnership allows that. This is a fine example
of the kind of public and private partnership that can really have
an impact on a growing community.”
The Fontbonne University OPTIONS program is in its 12th year of
offering adults accelerated business degree programs. All OPTIONS
programs are designed to be more convenient and practical for working
adults with busy lifestyles.
