Colleges Indicating Baccalaureate Completion Need
Question: Do the residents of your district have a need for a baccalaureate completion program beyond what is
currently available to them?
Needs
Institution
College of DuPage
We don’t know if our district residents need any additional
baccalaureate programs, since we have so many colleges and
universities in our district. We would like to see more 3 + 1 models,
where students can complete three years at COD and finish the final
year at a university.
Danville Area Comm. College
Our students would benefit by offering more online or hybrid
(weekend, evening, etc.) degree programs. Students have requested
bachelors degrees in: Business, RN/BSN completion (on-line only),
Manufacturing, Sociology (for Criminal Justice graduates), and
Special Education. We should add that Business Degrees have also
been requested from employers from time to time. For most degrees,
either an on-line format or a cohort in Danville would be helpful.
Having the Lakeview College of Nursing in Vermillion County
provides an RS/BSN completion degree program; however, there is
not currently an on-line option.
Heartland Community College
Our district is also home to several baccalaureate degree granting
institutions, so it seems unlikely that residents seriously lack degree
completion opportunities.
Highland Community College
We would like to have a BS completion program in Nursing
Illinois Central College
No
Illinois Eastern Community College
Yes, there is a need for baccalaureate completion programs beyond
what is currently available. Our greatest needs are - Education,
Nursing, Business, Psychology/Social Work, Administration of
Justice.
Kankakee Community College
Our needs are met at this time.
Kaskaskia College
We would like to have a baccalaureate completion program in
Secondary Education and have been working toward that.
Lake Land College
We have not heard from any district residents of the need for
additional opportunities.
Lincoln Land Community College
Education and a capstone for occupational degrees.
John A. Logan College
Yes, Bachelor’s degrees in: Health Care, Behavioral Science, Criminal
Justice, and Applied Management.
McHenry County College
Offerings in the immediate district are limited; however, MCC has
not formally surveyed the district to determine the needs for
specific baccalaureate completion programs.
Morton Community College
Some of our specific needs, but not limited to are - RN to BSN
programs, Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement.
Oakton Community College
The residents of our district have many options for baccalaureate
completion programs. We have approximately 25 colleges and
universities within a 45-minute drive of Oakton that offer 4-year
degrees. So students have a myriad of choices.
Parkland College
Because of on-going conversations with students we would like:
Accounting in class/on campus (not every qualified candidate
wants to take it online)
A social work and/or sociology BA....AND a MS that
provides credentials for the mental health field (patient care).
Secondary Education - would love it in the classroom but
would take online instead or also.
Special Education - would love it in the classroom, but would
take online instead or also.
Prairie State College
The residents in our district will always need some form of
baccalaureate completion program for health professions such as
Nursing, Dental Hygiene, and Surgical Technology.
Rend Lake College
No needs have been expressed.
Rock Valley College
Rockford has a disproportionally low bachelors attainment rate for
the size of our region. For this reason, RVC will continue to foster
relationships with 4-year institutions to create additional
opportunities for our graduates to complete bachelor’s degrees.
Currently NIU is the only 4-year public institution offering any
bachelor’s degrees in our region. This is problematic. Business is
an area of need for our students and we are currently in discussions
with Northern to provide this program.
Carl Sandburg College
We have several colleges within close proximity that help fulfill our
students’ baccalaureate completion needs.
Sauk Valley Community College
Yes, I believe that our students would benefit from more expansive
baccalaureate completion programs. However, I would like to see
these State or Illinois institutions which would provide lower tuition
rates. Right now, the proprietary schools are providing this to our
students but at a higher rate and possibly less quality. Elementary
Education and Business are the areas of need for our students.
Shawnee Community College
We have had requests for additional “on campus” programs in
Elementary Education and Business.
South Suburban College
No requests for this type of programming have been made by
district residents.
Southeastern Illinois College
We are trying to locate someone who can provide us with a program
that would provide 03 certified teachers with an 04 certification (Early
Childhood). Our regional superintendent of schools is working with
us on this - our school systems have need of this. Additionally, our
own early childhood students could benefit from this greatly. We
worked with SIU a couple of years to try to get this, but nothing came
of it. I have been in contact with EIU and we are discussing the
possibility. I think it will depend on the numbers we can guarantee on
our end. Oakland City (IN) has indicated they are willing, but we
wanted to try to find an in-state option if at all possible. However, if
we can’t , then we will consider that option.
Southwestern Illinois College
No, with SIU-E 45 minutes away; SIU-C about 90 minutes away;
McKendree and Lindenwood less than 10 minutes away and several
programs at Scott AFB, we are well-served.
Spoon River College
We feel they have been met and don’t have any outstanding requests
or complaints. We are working on several agreements with WIU and
remain open to other agreements or ideas.
Triton College
No need.
Waubonsee
We are always interested in creating appropriate baccalaureate degree
completion agreements with higher education partners to meet the
needs of our district residents as they evolve and change over time.
