Academic Programs at Moraine Valley

Moraine Valley offers three main curricula:

University Transfer Programs
The University Transfer Program curriculum provides the academic courses to complete the first two years of the bachelor's degree.

  • Associate in Arts (A.A.)
  • Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.)
  • Associate in Science  (A.S.)

Students in the university transfer program can begin any major field of study while completing the first two years at Moraine Valley.  Moraine Valley's university transfer program offers essentially the same courses as the first two years at any four-year college or university. Students choose one of the above degree programs to meet the basic requirements for the academic major they will continue at the university.

During the first two years of university-level education in the United States,  all students are required to take a broad range of general education courses, which include coursework in many academic areas. Students take most of the academic major courses during the third and fourth year, after transfer to the university.  Undecided students, or students in any academic field, can begin at Moraine Valley to complete general education requirements and save money before transferring to a more expensive university or college. 

At Moraine Valley, you can complete the first two years of general education courses. The credits you take in the university transfer program are guaranteed to transfer.  Moraine Valley students have transferred to some of the most prestigious universities and colleges in the United States, including:

  • Eastern Illinois University
  • Governors State University
  • Illinois State University
  • Indiana University
  • Northern Illinois University
  • Northwestern University
  • Purdue University
  • Southern Illinois University
  • University of Illinois
  • University of Wisconsin
  • University of Michigan
  • Western Illinois University
  • other universities throughout the United States.
