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.
