UIS offers accelerated courses outside of our traditional full semester dates to provide flexibility to students as they work toward the completion of a UIS program. These courses are termed First Half, Last (Second) Half, or Intersession because they are offered during a portion of the semester.
Reach your educational goals faster with accelerated eight-week courses. Accelerated courses are offered in accounting, business, English, finance, management information systems, psychology and more!
Tuition is approved by the Board of Trustees and complies in all material respects with applicable laws, University of Illinois Statutes, The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, and Board of Trustees policies and directives. The Vice President for Academic Affairs, in conjunction with the three campus Provosts, oversees course fee guidelines, their review and compliance.
We are pleased that you have chosen to explore our graduate degree and certificate programs. More than 40% of UIS students are engaged in graduate study, and most were attracted to UIS by an impressive combination of factors that include educational quality, value and campus location and setting.
