Satellite Campuses Extend Wentworth's Reach

Did you know that in addition to our main campus in Lexington, Wentworth Military Academy and College also has three other locations in Missouri where students can take classes?  That’s right!  For added convenience, Wentworth offers college classes at sites in Cameron, Lamar, and Hermitage. 

For over 20 years, Wentworth has served the community of Cameron, Missouri.  A variety of classes are offered year round.  The typical spring/fall enrollment at this site is 60. The Cameron Site Coordinator is Keith Mathews.

A partnership between Wentworth and the Lamar Area VO-tech Center has provided and educational opportunity to the community of Lamar, Missouri.  This site started in Sheldon, MO over 20 years ago and then moved to Lamar in the early 2000s.  The Lamar site typically has a spring/fall enrollment of 15.  Students are offered year round classes, in a variety of different subjects.  The Lamar Site Coordinator is Sam DeLaney.

Started by Gerda Fitz and Dennis McCulloch, the Wentworth College Hermitage site has awarded numerous college degrees.  As with the sites in Cameron and Lamar, Hermitage offers a variety of classes year round.  The average enrollment here is 25.  The site coordinator in Hermitage is Ray Aubuchon.

In fall 2013, students from these sites accounted for about 30% of Wentworth’s commuter enrollment and 17% of Wentworth’s online enrollment.

Wentworth leases classroom space from the local high schools at each of the sites.  In each of those school districts there are numerous former Wentworth students working as teachers or administrators.
