Plan 13AB-CRJ

The following courses are recommended for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to meet with an Academic Success Advisor to determine courses at CLC which will also meet the transfer requirements. For more information on recommended courses or program specific advising, contact faculty member Christopher Utecht at (847) 543-2944, Javier Alonso at (847) 543-2468, Jennifer Hulvat at (847) 543-2574 or the Business and Social Sciences Division at (847) 543-2047.

To complete any transfer degree, students should follow the college requirements for associate degrees that transfer.

All course prerequisites must be met. Additionally, students are required to select one course from the International/Multicultural (I/M) list to meet graduation requirements. A grade of "C" or better is required for all English course requirements.
