Lake Land College and Eastern Illinois University recently partnered to establish a two-plus-two transfer agreement for students majoring in English. The agreement provides an opportunity for students to seamlessly transfer to Eastern Illinois with junior status in one of four career pathways leading to a bachelor’s degree.

Dr. Ryan Hendrickson, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at EIU says this agreement is an example of the relationship EIU and Lake Land College share that makes student success the highest priority.  Lake Land College graduates who transfer to EIU, Hendrickson says, reinforce EIU’s strong academic standing. 

Starting this fall, Lake Land students who graduate with an Associate of Arts in English under the two-plus-two agreement can seamlessly transfer to Eastern Illinois and complete a bachelor’s degree in English in four additional semesters. Students can choose from four areas of concentration: Professional Writing, English Studies, Literacy & Cultural Studies and Creative Writing.
