College History
Founded in 1967, Moraine Valley
Community College's tradition of providing a quality education at an affordable
cost continues to thrive. With an enrollment of more than 46,000 students
annually, Moraine Valley, situated on nearly 300 acres in Palos Hills, is the
second largest community college in Illinois.
The college offers more than 100 degrees and certificates for transferring to a four-year
college or career training in today's hottest fields. A full array of courses
and services for adults, including Fast Track degrees, the Adult Learner
Program, and day care for children while parents are in day-time classes, help
make it easier to return to college. Additionally, Moraine Valley
offers noncredit personal development courses for all ages, and reaches out to
the business community with customized training solutions. The Moraine Valley
Education Center at Blue Island affords students the ideal location at which to
continue their studies, as do additional class sites throughout the district,
including the Southwest Education Center to be built in Tinley Park.
Rounding out the college experience is an active campus with clubs and
organizations, competitive athletics, a health fitness center, and more. The
college's Fine and Performing Arts Center features world-class entertainment,
art exhibits and exceptional theatrical and musical performances.
Our growth makes us among the largest community colleges in the state, but it is
our continued commitment to student success that makes us one of the premier
community colleges in the nation.
