Founded in 1891 by the Evangelical Covenant Church, North Park University is located on Chicago's north side and enrolls more than 3,100 students from around the country and the world. We began using Blackboard in the fall of 2001 to primarily support technology enhanced courses. In the fall of 2004, North Park began an aggressive rollout of online courses, and Blackboard usage increased dramatically.
