Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavioral Sciences

An accelerated inter-disciplinary 2-year degree completion program for adult students, the ABS major will be offered at the Naperville campus beginning 2010. 

This course-based major is for graduates of community colleges who have an Associates’ degree and who seek broad interdisciplinary preparation for a career in human services, social work, nonprofit management and other related fields. 

The ABS degree combines courses from the Department of Psychology, the College of Communication, and the School for New Learning, which offers the majority of courses, including a unique series of Adult Learning Seminars.  The courses in the major provide students with multiple perspectives on human behavior, interaction and communications.  Students attend class only 1 night a week, taking the rest of their coursework online.   Check back for more information.
