What are students saying about the Link program? Meet John who will earn 2 UIU degrees in less than 2 years!
I can't say enough good things about UIU!! Back in March I received a phone call from my now advisor. In just 10 short minutes I was online enrolling in UIU for the Public Administration BS program and now after completing 7 courses I am well on my way to my BS Degree and also enrolled in the MPA Link program which will allows me to not only earn my BS but earn my Masters degree shortly thereafter. Transferring credits was a breeze, and most were accepted into my degree program. I highly recommend prospective students look into UIU!! Because of the staff at UIU, in just 18 short months I will earn my BS AND my Masters degree.
