Transfer to Concordia-Chicago's Online Accelerated and 3+1 Degree programs
Complete your degree with flexibility, from where you are now. Concordia University Chicago’s Accelerated Degree Programs (ADP) let transfer students finish their bachelor’s degree online. This page covers credit transfer, program options, funding, and how to enroll.
- Choose a CUC Accelerated Degree Program and submit a request for information or contact Accelerated@cuchicago.edu.
- Consider our ADP 3+1 transfer pathways: three years of community college work followed by one year online at CUC to maximize transfer credit, minimize on-campus time, and transition directly into the online degree program.
- Speak with an ADP admissions counselor to map your transfer credits or see what courses may transfer using the free online tool, Transferology.
- More information about transfer credit is in the Concordia-Chicago Catalog
- Submit the ADP application for your selected program (no fee).
- Send your official transcripts from all institutions attended. If less than 15 credits, also upload high school transcript or GED.
- Review and accept your financial aid offer (if eligible, see Step 3).
