The Co-Op Program at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) recently developed and had approved the first pre-baccalaureate certificate offered by the University of Illinois state system. In this slide deck, Kaitlin Stober, Program Coordinator of University Illinois Chicago’s Co-Op Program, outlines her team’s approach to building a meaningful credential for students in inclusive postsecondary education. The Co-Op Program was funded during the 2020 TPSID cycle, and started operating as an official, credit-bearing university certificate in Fall 2022.
