²ÝݮӰÊÓ, College of DuPage Partner to Guarantee Admission for Transfer Students

²ÝݮӰÊÓ’s School of Professional Studies (SPS) will partner with the College of DuPage (COD) in Glen Ellyn in a program that guarantees COD transfer students admission to ²ÝݮӰÊÓ.

Even before students transfer to ²ÝݮӰÊÓ, the two schools will collaborate to seamlessly guide students from their associate degree at COD to completing their bachelor’s degrees at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ.

“This agreement formalizes and elevates an excellent new partnership that gives students of the College of DuPage an opportunity to complete their bachelor’s degrees at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ, in the world-class city of Chicago,” said ²ÝݮӰÊÓÌý±Ê°ù±ð²õ¾±»å±ð²Ô³ÙÌýMary K. Surridge. “We are delighted to provide this life-changing opportunity for so many students.”

SPS Dean Lori Scrementi said the two schools “hope to create a community of learning for all, not only with fellow students but with faculty and staff, to build a strong, supportive network before, during, and after their time at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ.”

Scrementi said that with its integration of Christian, intercultural, and city-centered values, SPS gives students tools for lifelong learning and a strong sense of community-focused decision-making. Faculty and staff bring the wisdom gained from their professions and vocations into their positions at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ.

COD’s provost, Mark Curtis-Chávez, said the institutional partnership between the schools “reflects our mutual and intentional level of commitment to providing students a clear pathway towards a timely degree in a growing number of academic programs.”

He added: “We look forward to continued collaboration with ²ÝݮӰÊÓ as we develop new ways to best support students.”

Founded in 1967, the College of DuPage is a community college serving students in Chicago’s western suburbs. Firmly rooted in its community, it is also committed to reflecting the needs and demands of an ever-changing world.
