Adult Evening Program

Robert Morris University has taken a proactive approach to the needs of today’s adult learner.  RMU’s evening program allows the student to manage their busy work and life schedules while achieving their higher education goal.  In many instances, students will graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in less than 4 years.

• Students will attend classes two nights a week.
• Students will choose their third class from an exciting list of options such as online, internships, or Innovation Center projects.
• This option is available at the Chicago and Arlington Heights locations.

Together this creates an experiential learning environment which brings true value to your college degree.

Robert Morris University has designed a class schedule specifically for the adult student interested in completing a degree while working full-time.  This module requires the student to be on location only two nights a week while earning 12 hours of credit. It allows students to complete their studies as a full-time student.  This model does not decrease contact time - it replaces traditional classroom time with innovative methods and technologies that allow more interaction between faculty and students, as well as students with each other, than standard programs.

Dual Degree Program - Bachelor's & Master's Advantage

Transfer of Credit (In to RMU)

RMU accepts transfer of credit from other institutions; however, credit is only accepted if it is relevant to the degree pursued. View our Transfer of Credit Agreement.

Transfer of Credit (Out of RMU)

RMU coursework is designed for your success at Robert Morris.  RMU credit may transfer to other institutions; however, all transfer of credit is evaluated by the receiving institution.  Credit transfers best when evaluated as part of an earned degree; course-by-course credit is typically more difficult to transfer to and from any college or university.
