Course rotations leading to select degrees in education are offered at the university's regional sites in Rockford, Hoffman Estates, and Naperville, Illinois. The schedule enables off-campus students to earn a graduate degree completely at off-campus locations.
Our off-campus classes are taught by university faculty and these courses are available to students who meet the graduate program entrance requirements. With appropriate prerequisites students may also take courses as a student-at-large for professional development. In addition to NIU's regional sites, courses are also taught in several community college districts throughout northern Illinois. Check the class schedule for availability. NIU is also a partner with several regional community colleges for undergraduate degree completion programs.
In response to special requests from agencies, school districts, or groups of interested teachers or administrators, the College of Education can also develop degree programs for a specific audience. Contact the Office of External Programs for more information.
