Explore Degree Alternatives at Oakton College Fair

If earning a bachelor's degree seems overwhelming due to work, family, and other adult commitments, don't miss Oakton Community College's Nontraditional Degree College Fair, 5 - 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 6, at the Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. Admission and parking are free.

From "fast track" programs that focus on independent study, to "life experience" credit for those with career skills and accomplishments, many institutions offer alternative courses of study for adult students to complete their bachelor's degree.

"Many college students don't have the luxury of attending daytime classes," says Laurie Gunning, of Oakton's Advising and Counseling Center. "This fair pulls together a variety of alternative programs designed for students facing a wide range of situations."

The Nontraditional Degree College Fair hosts representatives of more than 20 Illinois colleges and universities. Among those schools invited to attend are: DePaul University, DeVry Institute of Technology, Elmhurst College, Governors State University, Kendall College, National-Louis University, Northeastern Illinois University, Northwestern University, Roosevelt University, and University of Phoenix.

For more information, contact Laurie Gunning at 847-635-1741.
