University Center

Four Illinois universities offer their own bachelor's and master's degree programs at the Catalyst Campus. Enroll directly with your chosen university, and benefit from classes and support services on-site. We know commuting or relocating can make completing a degree difficult, which is why MCC is one of the few community colleges in Illinois that offers this direct connection to great university partners.
