Aurora University, C.O.D. Sign Agreement

Aurora University

Aurora University and College of DuPage have signed an articulation agreement designed to improve educational services to Human Services students served by both institutions.

The agreement provides a seamless opportunity for C.O.D. students to complete an AU bachelor's degree in Human Services, and to have prior academic coursework fully recognized and transferable toward the completion of that degree.

The pact was signed at a meeting in AU's University Banquet Hall.
Representing C.O.D. were Dr. Sunil Chand, president; Christopher Picard, Ph.D., vice president, Academic Affairs; Bernard Fradkin, Ph.D., acting vice president and dean of Health, Social and Behavioral Sciences; Adair Bullen, associate dean, Health, Social and Behavioral Sciences; Rita Bobrowski, Ph.D., coordinator, Human Services; Marianne Kreiglstein, assistant professor, Human Services; and Frank Salvatini, associate professor, Human Services.

Representing AU were Rebecca L. Sherrick, president; Andrew P. Manion, provost; Kenneth I. Millar, dean, George Williams College of Health and Human Services; Rita M. Yerkes, dean, School of Human Services; and Dovetta McKee, director, Human Services Program.

Addressing the Aurora University officials, Chand said, "Thank you in gratitude for all of the work you've done. You are very important to our students. In the past, there has not always been an opportunity for our students to go on to get their baccalaureate degrees in this area."

Sherrick said, "Aurora University welcomes the opportunity to partner with College of DuPage for this important initiative. Through this agreement, College of DuPage students will be able to continue their education in human services, ultimately giving back to the communities and organizations they serve through increased knowledge and enhanced skills."

The agreement is designed to serve C.O.D. students who transfer to AU with an associate's degree in addictions counseling, applied gerontology, corrections or human services generalist.

Founded in 1893, Aurora University enrolls more than 4,000 students in the College of Arts, Sciences and Business; College of Education; and George Williams College of Health and Human Services. Call (630) 844-5533 or visit the web site at www.aurora.edu for more information.
