MACOMB, IL - - ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ Illinois University and continue to build upon their strong partnership with a new Law Enforcement and Justice Administration transfer pathway program.
Students who complete an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Criminal Justice at SRC will have a seamless transition of credit transfer to pursue a bachelor's degree at WIU. SRC's Criminal Justice program is aligned with WIU's curriculum and, upon transferring, students will have the flexibility to complete their degree either on campus or online.
This collaboration simplifies the transfer process and provides students with accessible options to achieve their educational goals.
"Partnerships like this one with Spoon River College demonstrate our commitment to creating clear, student-centered pathways to a four-year degree," said Kassie Daly, WIU associate director of admissions and director of transfer services. "By aligning our programs and offering flexible options, we're making it easier than ever for students to reach their academic and career goals."
Spoon River College has been one of the top five feeders of new transfer students to WIU for several years, with more than 100 new students since 2022. Both institutions have teamed up to offer a unique college experience to our students. Students can attend Spoon River College, our local community college, and stay in a residence hall on the WIU campus. WIU can offer out-of-classroom living/learning space to complement the SRC education.
