PICU is an organization dedicated to educating transfer students and college transfer center coordinators about the numerous benefits available at private colleges and universities.

PICU is currently comprised of 51 Illinois colleges and universities that are united by a student-centered approach at every phase of the transfer process. By ensuring such a smooth transition from the community college to the receiving institution, PICU schools allow students to fully concentrate on successfully completing their bachelor’s degree with the assurance that they will be assisted every step of the way. The benefits of a more personalized education are endless, from a more relaxed classroom atmosphere to successful job placement after graduation. Moreover, private school students often complete courses in a more timely fashion, thus saving time and money in the long run.
