Fair Offers Bachelor's Degree Alternatives
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 - 7:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 25, at the Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road. Admission and parking are free.
From "fast track" programs that focus on independent study, to "life experience" compensation for those with career skills and accomplishments, many institutions offer alternative courses of study for adult students to complete their bachelor's degree.
"Traditional class schedules don't work for everyone trying to earn a bachelor's degree," says Laurie Gunning, of Oakton's advising and counseling department. "This fair offers some alternative solutions through a wide variety of programs."
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, Kendall College, Northeastern Illinois University, Northwestern University, Roosevelt University, and National-Louis University.
For more information, contact Laurie Gunning at 847-635-1741.
