The University Center of Lake County has a dozen new degree and certificate programs for prospective students to consider.

All University Center programs are offered via evening or weekend or online study so that working adults can fit them into lives that already contain jobs and families without adding lengthy commutes.

• Bachelor of Science in Accounting (Southern Illinois University Carbondale)

• Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems (University of Illinois Springfield)

• Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education (Kendall College)

• Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (Northeastern Illinois University)
