Transfer Program Admission

Illinois state law (Public Act 86-0954) specifies that 15 units of high school course work or the equivalent are required for admission to all public institutions. This act affects students at Parkland who wish to be admitted to an Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Engineering Science, or Associate in Fine Arts (transfer) program.

Parkland College’s minimum entrance requirements for students who wish to enroll in A.A., A.S., A.E.S., or A.F.A. programs are as follows:

• Four years of English — written and oral communications, literature
• Three years of mathematics — minimum of one year of Algebra I, one year of geometry, and one year of Algebra II (intermediate algebra)
• Two years of science — laboratory science
• Two years of social studies — history and/or government
• Two years of electives — foreign language, music, art, or vocational education
• Two flexible academic units — two additional courses (years) from any one or two of the science, social studies, and/or electives categories in addition to approved courses in mathematics and English such as advanced mathematics, computer science, journalism, speech, and creative writing.

This requirement pertains only to A.A., A.S., A.E.S., and A.F.A. degree transfer programs; it does not affect the career programs (A.A.S. or certificates) or the Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.) program.
