Illinois Bridge Directory
The 2011 Illinois Online Bridge Directory is aligned with Illinois’ Shifting Gears Initiative. The Directory presents information about current bridge instruction offered by Illinois’ community colleges and adult education providers. Bridge programs listed in this online Directory are based on the Illinois Bridge Status Survey administered by OCCRL between August and November 2011. Alignment with Illinois’ Bridge Definition is also documented in the online profiles.
The Directory is intended to serve as a resource for practitioners, policy-makers, and others. Please direct questions about bridge programs to the contact person identified in the program profile (Note: some survey respondents elected not to provide contact information).
This work was conducted by the Office of Community College Research and Leadership and funded by the Illinois Community College Board and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
