About Aurora University
Aurora College, founded in 1893 as Mendota Seminary, an academic program of the Advent Christian Association, and George Williams College, the original training school for YMCA professionals founded in 1843 in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, share a long tradition of professional preparation. These two institutions continued this shared tradition by merging their programs within Aurora University in 1992. Aurora University is committed to educating students for the challenges of the 21st century at its two main locations, the Aurora Campus in Illinois and the Lake Geneva Campus in Wisconsin. Aurora offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs through the College of Arts, Sciences, and Business; the George Williams College of Aurora University (including the School of Nursing, the School of Social Work, and the School of Human Services); and the College of Education. More than 40 majors are offered in the undergraduate curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, or Bachelor of Social Work degrees. The graduate programs offer areas of specialization leading to master’s degrees in business administration, business management, recreation administration, teaching, social work, and a doctoral degree in education. |
