            College offers bachelor’s degree 
            [JUNE
            29, 2001]  Starting
            with the fall semester, Lincoln College will be able to offer
            bachelor’s degrees in liberal arts and business management at its
            campus in Normal. 
            The
            North Central Association, the regional accrediting association, has
            approved Lincoln College’s request to offer a two-plus-two
            program. The program will permit students who have earned an
            associate of arts degree to continue with courses leading to a
            bachelor’s degree. 
            Lincoln
            College President Jack Nutt says the request stems from the demands
            of the local business community. "Employers have said to us
            that they would prefer to have liberally educated employees that
            they can train to meet the needs of a particular position," he
            said. 
            For
            more information about the new program, call Lincoln College at
            Normal at (800) 569-0558 or (309) 452-0500.
