City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) students now have a seamless “2+2” transfer pathway to bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology and Sport Management from the Northern Illinois University College of Education. Thanks to a newly signed articulation agreement, students completing Associate of Science degrees who are interested in those majors can begin to enroll at NIU as soon as January, although initial recruitment will focus on the fall semester of 2023. Available to students from all seven of CCC’s campuses, the opportunity to become Huskies falls under the Guaranteed Admissions Program and comes with the possibility of receiving NIU Star Scholarships of $3,000 per year for two years. More than 1,300 CCC students currently are in academic programs that align well with Kinesiology and Sport Management. City Colleges of Chicago Chancellor Juan Salgado shares that hope. Articulation agreements between four-year universities and community colleges provide students with a prescribed, sequential set of general education courses for their first two years near home and put them right on track when they arrive at NIU for their major-specific curriculum. Coordinated academic advising, along with an earlier introduction to the college’s Office for Student Success, creates strong relationships that yield improved enrollment management, retention and graduation rates.
