Admission Requirements
Applicants to the Joint Program must be admitted by both ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â and NIU. In addition, any current ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â student may, with ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â's permission, apply for the program, and will be considered for admission by NIU using its usual transfer student criteria. Students must meet ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â and NIU criteria for satisfactory academic progress in order to remain in the Joint Program, including a minimum 2.75/4.0 GPA in their ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â courses. Transfer credit earned from other institutions prior to enrollment at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â must meet NIU transfer credit requirements. For students enrolled in the Joint Program, NIU will accept transfer credit completed with a grade of "C" or better which has been accepted by ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â, provided the student has obtained prior ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â and NIU approval by filing a student petition in accordance with existing ÁùºÏ²Ê¿â and NIU regulations. NIU courses will be offered in DeKalb or at the Naperville Campus. Students must satisfy all published requirements of the institution granting the degree.
