We pride ourselves on being not only an academic institution but a community institution.
In addition to our centrally located campuses in Des Plaines and Skokie, we provide community education at hundreds of off-site locations found in high schools and other areas throughout the community, as well as online.

Whatever your needs, we offer numerous continuing education courses designed to make each and every member of our community, regardless of age or experience, independent life-long learners.
