Session Type
Concurrent - Includes content presentation and Q & A with audience
Session Description
Loyola University Chicago’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies has restructured its degree program to increase student success. The outcome is dramatic: students maintain active enrollment at a 93% retention rate. This success is fostered through a three-tiered curriculum that clarifies students' personal and professional goals and builds their confidence in achieving them and a choice of delivery formats that allows the options of when, where, and how to study from one course or one term to another.
