School Description

Provided by City Colleges of Chicago- Richard J Daley College

It was Richard J. Daley, Chicago's six-term Mayor, who laid the plans and broke the ground for the College. His commitment to the residents of the Southwest community made the college a reality, and so a week after his death, the School was renamed Richard J. Daley College. Major Daley did not live to dedicate the new building when its doors opened in 1981, but his ideals and aspirations for the people of Chicago are embedded in its walls. With a full-time faculty of 62 members and a student body of 4,500, Daley College continues the tradition which began at Lane and Crane in 1911 of offering university-bound students a solid Liberal Arts education in their own neighborhoods at a cost working people can afford. Moreover, it continues to respond to the changing needs of Chicago and its people by infusing traditional studies with the technical, career, and occupational curricula to reflect the needs of our time. Daley College also provides an important community service by offering free literacy and English as a Second Language classes to more than 5,000 students in its Adult Education Program

Daley's students study and work in a facility equipped with a 60,000-volume library; laboratories for Accounting, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Languages, Microcomputers; ample classroom space; a gymnasium, a pool, a cafeteria and a Student Activities Center. Daley graduates transfer to colleges and universities of Illinois, or join the work force of Chicago.

As one of the City Colleges of Chicago, Richard J. Daley College shares in the vision and mission of the District. In addressing the diverse community of the southwest side of Chicago, Daley College provides opportunities for higher education, professional growth and cultural enrichment. Daley College is committed to high quality, affordable programs which are responsive to the educational and career needs of the community.

Richard J. Daley College offers a complete college experience. We understand that there's more to college life than attending classes. We offer many of the programs, sports, and activities available at large four-year universities and colleges. But our students will not have to stand in line behind juniors and seniors in the classroom, on the basketball court, or in leadership positions. Our students can immediately act in a play, plan social activities, or set policy as a student government member.

City Colleges of Chicago- Richard J Daley College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Richard J. Daley College is one of the seven City Colleges of Chicago with an enrollment of approximately 4500 students and 81 full-time faculty. The college was founded as William J. Bogan Junior College in 1960 and utilized classrooms in the evenings provided by William J. Bogan High School in the Ashburn neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago. In 1970, the college moved to an interim campus in West Lawn neighborhood at 7500 S Pulaski Road, made of prefab buildings until the present campus was completed in 1981.

In 1977, a week after the death of Richard J. Daley, the college was renamed in honor of the late mayor.

The cafeteria, at Richard J. Daley College, consists of Wendy's and Lindy's Chili.

Best Answer

Daley College is one of the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC). The CCCs comprise Chicago's community-college system; we call them city colleges. As with most community colleges, the CCCs are a fantastic option if you are looking to save money on part of your undergrad-level education, if you wish to take enrichment and/or continuing-education courses, and/or if you are trying to bring your grades up after a rough academic patch. Chances are extremely slim that Daley will reject you because of your disciplinary record---just be sure not to let it happen again! It's been my experience that the CCCs have some truly amazing faculty.

Question: What is the tuition cost at Richard J. Daley College?

It's a city college
21 months ago

Best Answer

According to www.efccalculator.com the costs is about $2,500. They list both the costs of college and also the expected family contribution - how much you would probably have to pay yourself if you went there.

Question: How does this tuition work?

At Richard J. Daley College of Chicago (one of the city colleges), tuition is stated to be: College Credit Courses: $72.00 per credit hour, payable in addition to any applicable out-of-district or out-of-state tuition. So since I live in the City of Chicago, I'd only pay 72.00 per credit hour? I want to go for an associates of applied science in nursing.. that's 60 credit hours. Does this really mean that all I'd be paying is $4320? Is there some hidden fee I don't know about, or some other fees?
24 months ago

Best Answer

That sounds about right, except that it will probably take you a couple of years to finish the degree, and tuition probably goes up every year. Also, there are some other costs: 1. Textbooks are expensive 2. You'll be paying for your own food and housing, which I guess you're aware of. But usually that would have costed about $10,000 per year if you were living on campus and eating in the dining halls, and that is one of the reasons college is so expensive (and why your college bill looks cheap in comparison--because it doesn't include those items).
