Waubonsee Community College offers a unique academic program that allows students to earn an associate degree in just one year.
The QuickPath Degree Program gives motivated students the opportunity to earn an Associate in Arts Degree in a year by taking a series of hybrid classes that combine face-to-face meetings on the Sugar Grove Campus with online classes. The program is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year college to complete a Bachelor of Arts Degree. This program is appropriate for students interested in communications, English, history and psychology. Its broad program of study is also great for those students who are undecided on a major or want a liberal arts general education.
Students accepted into the program complete it as a cohort and the cohort receives additional assistance on the transfer process and any other issues that may arise during the year.
Those interested in applying for the QuickPath Degree Program must have a high level of commitment and motivation to complete the accelerated program. They must also demonstrate college readiness with a minimum 2.75 high school GPA and placement in college-level courses.
Students who have been out of high school for more than two years are welcome to apply and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure readiness for the program. Applicants must also be eligible for Waubonsee’s in-district tuition rate. The application deadline for the 2019/2020 cohort is April 15.
