The Chicago Campus began the fall semester by welcoming a record 118 new students—far exceeding its goal.
“We’ve designed something students really desire,” acknowledged Dr. Barrington Price, chief executive officer of the Chicago Campus.
Price also credited impactful community engagement and active recruitment efforts for boosting enrollment in the two-year Associate of Arts degree program, as well as academic partner organizations for effectively articulating the campus’ programs and mission to prospective students and families.
Positive experiences shared by the first class of graduates have also ignited interest among this third campus cohort of students, he said.
“We’ve impacted students’ lives, and I feel very good about that,” Price said. “This is how we’re espousing our mission in 2026, and it feels like the right place to be.”
