Elmhurst University’s 2+2 programs, developed in partnership with the College of DuPage (COD), provide a seamless transition to Elmhurst for COD students.
Students can earn both an associate degree and a bachelor’s degree in just four years by transferring up to 70 semester hours from COD to Elmhurst. In addition, for those who have completed COD’s data science certificate program, there is an opportunity for guaranteed admission to Elmhurst’s master’s in data science and analytics program.
COD students can start planning their transition as early as their first semester by following an academic transfer plan designed for their particular area of study. Students will receive expert advising from advisers and counselors on both campuses during their years of enrollment.
