Quarter to Semester Conversion Guide
"HOW TO READ THIS TRANSFER GUIDE"
With the start of the Fall, 2005 term College of DuPage will switch from a quarter to semester system. All the transfer guides will contain both quarter and semester course articulation information to assist students and faculty advisors during this transition phase. Quarter term classes have three digit course numbers, while semester course have Bolded four digit course numbers: For example, ENGLI 101 is a quarter course and ENGLI 1101 is a semester course. In the transfer guides, articulation tables will show a number of course articulation arrangements, for example:
Speec 100, 1100 In the above case the Speech 100 course or 1100 can be used to meet a requirement. Engli 102 + 103, 1102 In above case, English 102 plus 103 or English 1102 can be used to meet the requirement. Math 115, 1115 and 116 and 117, 1116 This case describes two situations: 1.) Math 115 equals 1115 and Math 116 + 117 equals 1116+ 2.) Math 115 + 116 + 117 equals Math 1115 + 1116The transfer guides are a valuable tool to assist students and faculty advisors with the transfer process. Given the complex nature of the articulation process should you have any questions regarding course equivalencies contact the College Articulation Office at 630/942.2500.

Elmhurst College will accept a maximum of 96 quarter hours (not including physical education activity courses) from College of DuPage. A minimum of 64 semester hours must be completed at Elmhurst and at least one half of the courses required for a major must be completed at Elmhurst College.

The Elmhurst Management Program (EMP) is designed for adult students seeking an accelerated Business Administration major which can be completed in approximately one year. The classes meet one evening or one Saturday per week and allow the adult student to complete 36 semester hours of credit toward a Bachelor of Science degree. For more information, call (630) 617-3400.
The accelerated major in Human Services Administration (HSA) is offered to adult students more than eight years out of high school who are interested in completing a major that prepares them for a professional-level administrative position in a wide variety of human services fields.
This 36-semester hour major can be completed in about one year by taking courses one night per week. Students will take the program as members of a cohort group of 15-25 students who will take all of the major courses together.
This program is designed for adults working in entry-level administrative or line staff jobs in human service agencies or in businesses who aspire to work at a higher administrative level in the human services delivery system. It is also beneficial for adults working in the home who want to re-enter the work force in a human services field and who would like to earn a bachelor's degree that offers preparation for an entry-level administrative position.
