UIS to offer 28 accelerated courses starting March 15 to help students continue their educational goals
The University of Illinois Springfield will offer 28 accelerated online and blended courses for prospective and current students. Most classes will begin Monday, March 15, and will conclude in early May.
“This is a great opportunity for new UIS students to start or finish their education,” said UIS Interim Chancellor Karen Whitney. “It’s also a chance for current students to add to their course load and potentially earn their degree in a shorter period of time.”
Due to the accelerated nature of the classes, it is recommended that students only enroll in one course.
