THE UNDERGRADUATE COLLEGE The UGC at National Louis University officially began in July of this year. It took nearly two years and the efforts of faculty and staff across the institution to develop and prepare the UGC model, which is defined by NLU’s signature undergraduate experience: » » a clear and comprehensive student pathway to bachelor’s degree completion » » experiential, applied learning across courses » » a service-learning requirement for all UGC students » » comprehensive coaching and advising support » » use of predictive analytics to personalize student learning The College will serve both Pathways students — first-time, full-time, day-time freshman — and transfer students of all ages, allowing the faculty of the National College of Education and the College of Professional Studies and Advancement to focus their expertise on the University’s graduate students. Aarti Dhupelia, previously the head of Pathways at NLU, will serve as Vice President for Undergraduate Education and Dean of the UGC. “Through the establishment of the Undergraduate College, NLU is reaffirming our commitment to closing the opportunity gap in bachelor’s degree attainment, driven by the uniquely affordable, rigorous, personalized, supportive and professionally focused education we offer students,” said Dhupelia. “I’m excited to build on our rich, long-standing history and to scale our promising recent innovations to support all of our undergraduates in meeting their college and career goals.”
