External Programs
The term “traditional” student has lost its traditional meaning. In other words, you
don’t have to be 18-22 to earn your degree. If you’re an adult seeking to receive
or complete your degree, distance learning may be the path for you.
We offer many “external” programs taught at locations other than on the Lebanon, Illinois
campus. For decades, we’ve delivered high quality programs to sites in Illinois, Kentucky,
and Scott Air Force Base. Most of our class formats blend the best of face-to-face
learning with online courses, while other programs and courses are offered completely
online.
Regardless of the format, location, or content of the class, McKendree University
offers a high quality educational experience for all.
The Center at Scott Air Force Base
Designed to meet the special needs of working adults, McKendree's one-month class
format at Scott AFB is ideal for students whose schedules may change frequently or
who still want to have time for families while working on their undergraduate degree.
Accelerated Instruction with McKendree (AiM)
The Accelerated Instruction with McKendree (AiM) program is designed for students
whose commitments make them unable to attend the McKendree Lebanon campus. The Bachelor
of Business Administration Degree is available in Business Administration, Marketing,
or Human Resources Management. Courses are taught at seven locations in Illinois with
classes meeting one night per week.
The School of Nursing has two programs - a BSN completion program and a MSN program.
The BSN completion program builds on the Associate/Diploma education. The MSN program
has two tracks to chose from, a Nurse Educator track and a Nurse Manager/Administrator

or patients within the clinical setting. The Nurse Management/Administrator track
is designed for those nurses seeking a leadership position in the field of nursing.
