Elgin Community College 2+2 Programs

Elmhurst University’s 2+2 programs, developed in partnership with Elgin Community College, provide a seamless transition to Elmhurst for Elgin 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 Elgin Community College to Elmhurst.

Elgin Community College 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.
