Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Education

City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) students now have a seamless “2+2” transfer pathway to bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology and Sport Management from the Northern Illinois University College of Education. Thanks to a newly signed articulation agreement, students completing Associate of Science degrees who are interested in those majors can begin to enroll at NIU as soon as January, although initial recruitment will focus on the fall semester of 2023. Available to students from all seven of CCC’s campuses, the opportunity to become Huskies falls under the Guaranteed Admissions Program and comes with the possibility of receiving NIU Star Scholarships of $3,000 per year for two years. More than 1,300 CCC students currently are in academic programs that align well with Kinesiology and Sport Management. Students who pursue NIU’s B.S. in Kinesiology study scientific principles that regulate behavior change and performance, including physiology, biomechanics, psychology, measurement, gerontology and nutrition. They go on to use exercise as a form of medicine in their work at a variety of health, wellness and sport performance settings. NIU’s B.S. in Sport Management prepares students for the extensive career opportunities available with professional franchises; collegiate athletic departments; marketing and management firms; parks and recreation operations; and more.
