Southern Illinois University Workforce Education Hello. My name is Dr. Charles Sidell, Program Coordinator for Southern Illinois University’s
Workforce Education and Development Program.
SIU has been offering the bachelor’s degrees in Workforce Education in Jacksonville for over 30
years. We have 2 locations, at NAS Jacksonville and Mayport Naval Station. Additionally, we
offer bachelor’s degree programs in Health Care Management and Electronic Systems
Technologies Management at our NAS JAX location.
These accelerated programs are designed for working adults.
Flexibility is the key in the way we offer our programs. Associate degrees are not required for
entry into our programs. Placement tests, SAT or ACT tests are also not required. We award
college credit, based upon 4 years of full-time work experience and occupationally related
training.
We have maintained an educational partnership with FCCJ over the past 30 years. We accept
FCCJ’s course work in transfer, especially AS and AAS degrees. Most FCCJ graduates finish
the WED program in 12 months. It usually takes about 18 months to finish the other programs.
If you have any questions about transferring to SIU, please contact me at the number included on
the Virtual Transfer College Fair website. SIU has local, full-time advisors to help you transfer
your college experiences into a bachelor’s degree. I look forward to welcoming you to SIU.
