C.O.D., National-Louis Agree on ‘3+1’ Program

By Ken Reed

A unique “3+1” transfer agreement between College of DuPage and National-Louis University (NLU) will allow C.O.D. students who earn an Associate in Applied Science degree in Management to take a third year of coursework at C.O.D. before transferring into NLU’s Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration for their senior year.

All credits earned at C.O.D. will transfer to NLU.

Classes in the final year of the bachelor’s degree program will be offered at NLU’s Lisle campus, which is located about five minutes from C.O.D., near the I-88 and Route 53 intersection.

“This is a great program for C.O.D. students who want to stay in the area and finish their bachelor’s degree,” said Karen Randall, C.O.D. associate dean, Business and Technology. “There is an enormous cost savings for students because of the ability to take three years worth of coursework at C.O.D.”

For more information on this transfer agreement, call C.O.D.’s Business and Technology Division, (630) 942-2592, or NLU at (888) 658-8632.


C.O.D., Benedictine Offer ‘2+2’ Transfer Agreements

By Ken Reed

College of DuPage and Benedictine University have established several unique “2+2” transfer agreements that allow C.O.D. students who earn Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees in certain majors to seamlessly transfer all credits to Benedictine and earn a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management and Organizational Behavior.

C.O.D. students who earn A.A.S. degrees in Management, Marketing, Real Estate and Construction Management are now able to transfer all credits into Benedictine University’s bachelor degree program. Benedictine University would then define for C.O.D. graduates what courses they would take in their third and fourth years at that university.

“This is a great partnership for our students who are attracted to Benedictine University,” said Karen Randall, C.O.D. associate dean, Business and Technology. “This is another local university that C.O.D. students can transfer to for bachelor’s degree completion.”

Randall said C.O.D. and Benedictine University are also working on other “2+2” agreements that involve C.O.D.’s Hospitality Administration, Travel and Tourism, Fashion Merchandising and Design and Facilities Management areas.

“Benedictine University is trying to agree on as many ‘2+2’ programs with our division as they can. They are looking at what lines up with their Bachelor’s Degree in Management and Organizational Behavior.”
