It is part of the Illinois Community College System and its district, Illinois Community College District 514, is a 2,322-square-mile (6,010 km2) includes most of Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties and parts of Bureau, Logan, Marshall, Livingston, McLean, Stark, and Mason counties.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying close to home — with a median debt of just $5,500 at graduation, students here leave with far less financial burden than at most four-year schools. That said, the median earnings of $35,000 ten years after enrollment suggest this path works best as a stepping stone — either to a four-year transfer or a specific trade or technical career — rather than a destination on its own. If you have a clear goal in mind and want an affordable way to get started, the numbers here are hard to argue with.
