What kind of academic programs will The Global Campus offer?
The Global Campus offers fully accredited baccalaureate degree completion programs and master’s degrees, as well as certificate programs. These programs are developed in partnership with colleges and academic departments of the University’s residential campuses at Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, and Springfield. The baccalaureate degree programs consist of the last 40 to 80 hours required for degree completion. They are targeted to students who have completed the first year or so of studies at a four-year college or university or who have received an associate’s degree from a community college. The certificate programs typically consist of three courses in a specialty at the graduate level, and if taken for credit, these courses could be used towards a master’s degree. The Global Campus may also offer non-credit programs at some future date.
