Higher education is not about where
you have been or where you begin but
rather about what you achieve
once you have begun. |
The University College (UC)
Provides access to Chicago State University for entering freshmen who have special academic needs.
Our UC student population is comprised of students who:
- Have a minimum composite ACT score of 15 with a G.P.A. of 2.0/ 4.0 or above
.
Our Commitment
To serve students to the best of our ability, UC faculty and staff create supportive curricula and programs to enhance the acquisition of knowledge and skills essential to successful academic performance in the larger university.
Your Commitment
The UC entails an approximate two-semester commitment with a combination of basic skills and general education course work applicable to all student majors. High school transcript evaluation and university placement examinations determine course placement.
What's in it for You?
Benefits of the University College include:
- Small class size
- Specialized orientation, advising, and registration
- Individualized attention by instructors and academic support counselors
- CSU 090: University Studies (a course designed to promote success in a university setting)
- Use of the College Student Inventory (a diagnostic tool to assist students in improving themselves in their student role)
- Access to the Summer Bridge program (an option for furthering basic skills development.)
Exit from the UC involves the successful completion of applicable basic skills course work and examinations, as well as CSU 090. Students will be transferred to their major department at this time.
