Local universities anchor growth of suburban campuses
Theresa Schoot, 40, a Joliet office manager, plans to finish a bachelor’s degree at the University of St. Francis this summer and begin a master’s next year, highlighting how the University College Center in Oak Forest and nearby campuses expand access for adult learners. Local institutions including DePaul, St. Xavier, Governors State, and DeVry have opened or expanded in Tinley Park, Orland Park, and other suburbs to meet rising demand for flexible four year degrees.
