Hello, I’m Dr.

The University of Illinois Springfield is making it easier for community college transfer students to complete their bachelor's degree through a partnership with the National Association of System Heads (NASH).

By applying NASH's improvement science model, UIS has completed three action cycles that focused on closing gaps in the transfer process to increase the two-year to four-year transfer rate and bachelor’s degree completions.
