Parkland, UI create dual-admission program

CHAMPAIGN – Parkland College has long been a first stop for students on their way to the University of Illinois. They take two years of classes at Parkland and then hope to transfer to the UI to finish a four-year degree.

Beginning this fall, a new program will allow incoming Parkland students also to be admitted to the UI and to take classes simultaneously at Parkland and the UI.
