tuition and fees at a public university and nearly $50,000 at

a private school.

Strong transfer programs

See the entire list of majors at

www.clcillinois.edu/transfer.

Data from Illinois public universities show that CLC students do

well when they transfer, and other data from the National

Clearinghouse indicates that students go on from CLC to attend

institutions ranging from public universities to Ivy Leagues.

Resources for a smooth transfer

Our website has many transfer planning guides for specific

colleges and universities that you can explore by institution

or major. Additionally, counselors are available to work with

you on planning for a successful transfer. For details,

visit

www.clcillinois.edu/transferinfo.

Transfer highlight: Engineering Pathways to U of I

of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, qualifying CLC students are

guaranteed admission as juniors to the U of I’s College of

Engineering. For details, visit

What we offer

Quick path to higher earnings

When your goal is to enter the workforce

right after CLC, choose one of our career

preparation programs.

These two-year degrees and shorter career

certificates give you higher earning potential

in less time than a bachelor’s degree program.

Associate in Applied Science degree programs

were created to provide specific skills and

knowledge for immediate employment after

graduation. Credits from many programs,

however, can be applied to transfer programs

at four-year schools.
