Lincoln
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.
