Virtual Signing of the Saluki Step Ahead Program
Waubonsee Community College signed an agreement with Southern Illinois University (SIU) Carbondale on March 22 that offers Waubonsee students the opportunity to save time and money when they transfer into an eligible online degree program at SIU Carbondale.
The Agreement, referred to as the “Saluki Step Ahead Program,” bridges the transfer gap for Waubonsee students who desire to continue their studies in an eligible program at SIU.
Admitted Saluki Step Ahead students would receive an eight-semester pathway, outlining the courses needed to complete these programs. Upon transferring into an eligible program, students will receive a $4,000 per year scholarship ($8,000 total savings) towards their online tuition and fees at SIU. The six eligible academic programs include accounting, business administration, criminology and criminal justice, health care management, psychology, and radiologic sciences.
Current Waubonsee students or those planning to attend the college soon can apply to the Saluki Step Ahead Program up to two years in advance. To learn about this program’s specific admission and academic requirements, visit waubonsee.edu/transfer.
