University Center of Lake County Adds Trinity International University

The University Center of Lake County has admitted Trinity International University (TIU) to membership. The Center is now comprised of 10 public institutions and 11 private institutions from across Illinois collaborating to bring the junior/senior year of bachelor's degree programs, graduate degrees, and professional development certificates to the Lake County region.

TIU's initial program offering will be a Certificate in Christian Ministries offered at the University Center's Waukegan site (1 N. Genesee, Suite 300). The program is designed for adult learners who are not necessarily seeking a degree, but want to enhance personal understanding of ministry and Scripture. Class credits later can be counted toward pursuit of a bachelor's degree. Tuition charges and class schedules are set with working adults in mind.

"We've certainly been aware of TIU's long presence in Lake County and their service to this region," said G. Gary Grace, Executive Director and Dean of the University Center. "We're very pleased to welcome them as a University Center member institution and to share their goal of providing more educational services to northeast Lake County. Their Certificate in Christian Ministries will be a welcome addition to our University Center facility in Waukegan."

"We are excited about the possibilities to make a difference in northern Lake County through our relationship with the University Center," said Tom Cornman, dean of Trinity College and Trinity Graduate School. "We now have the ability to work with our partners in the Waukegan and North Chicago areas to provide Christ-centered and Church-connected education to an underserved group of our constituents."

Registration for the new program is now underway. Visit www.ucenter.org for details or call 847/665-4000 for more information.
