                        management & logistics guarantee a student transferring from IECC may transfer to
                        McKendree as a junior with the required courses in place for the selected major.
“McKendree University has always taken pride in being transfer friendly,” said Dr.
                        Melissa Meeker, Dean of McKendree Worldwide. “We have a focused effort to expand our

                        to ease the process for prospective students.”
McKendree University works continually with community colleges throughout the state
                        to develop articulation agreements and four-year transfer plans for students who complete
                        their associate’s degree and go on to earn their bachelor’s degree at the university.
