Program Overview?

The Advantage

?The 3+1 program allows students to complete their AAS degree from College of DuPage. Once completed, our students are allowed to take additional courses beyond their degree from COD paying our much lower tuition rates. The final year of classes are taught by Benedictine University faculty and are offered on College of DuPage?s campus at a significantly reduced rate, making the goal of continuing an education a reality for more students. This program exemplifies College of DuPage?s mission to make education more affordable for its students while stressing academic quality, first-class faculty and extraordinary learning environments.??
