Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Management - Accounting] From College of DuPage

Program Overview

•  All classes are held at the COD Glen Ellyn campus. 

•  The final 39 Benedictine University credit hours are offered at a discounted tuition rate.

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. 

How does the program work? 

• For students earning an AAS in Accounting, the program consists of 124 credit hours, including 85 credit hours of COD courses and 39 credit hours of Benedictine University coursework. 

• All additional coursework beyond the AAS degree must be completed with a grade of “C” or better.

•  Students can complete both the AAS and BA degrees in optimal time. – Select COD courses may be taken online or in a hybrid format and, for students 21 or older, in an accelerated format. – The final 39 Benedictine University credit hours are delivered in accelerated and blended formats.

•  Students should apply for admission to Benedictine University one full semester prior to starting Benedictine coursework.
