Private Illinois Colleges and Universities Fair Set For Feb. 23

College of DuPage will host the Private Illinois Colleges and Universities fair from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, in the Student Resource Center, Room 2800.

During PICU, which is free of charge and open to the community, students can speak with college representatives to have their admissions and transfer questions addressed directly.

“It's important for our students and graduates to understand how their associate's degrees can transfer to baccalaureate programs,” said Jill Davis, College Transfer coordinator at College of DuPage. “The fair also gives prospective students and community members a chance to learn about obtaining an associate's degree at COD and how that can transfer into a baccalaureate program.”

Participating schools during PICU are Augustana College, Aurora University, Benedictine University, Bradley University, Columbia College – Chicago, Concordia University Chicago, DePaul University, DeVry University, Dominican University, Elmhurst College, Eureka College, Illinois Institute of Art – Schaumburg, Judson University, Kendall College, Lake Forest College, Lakeview College of Nursing, Lewis University, Lexington College, Loyola University – Chicago, National-Louis University, North Central College, Northwood University, Olivet Nazarene University, Robert Morris University, Rockford College, Roosevelt University, Saint Xavier University, Trinity Christian College, Trinity International University, and University of St. Francis.
