About Kaskaskia College
Kaskaskia College was the first community college in Illinois established under the Junior College Act of 1965.
It has a rich tradition of providing comprehensive, high quality, cost-effective educational opportunities for
lifelong learning. The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools has awarded Kaskaskia College the
maximum ten-year accreditation status. This confidence in academic excellence serves as proof that Kaskaskia
College is fulfilling its academic mission of training and educating our citizens and future leaders.
Kaskaskia College offers Associate of Science and Associate of Arts degrees for transfer to four-year colleges
and universities as well as 29 associate degree career programs and 74 certificate programs. Students may also
benefit from additional programs and activities through non-credit classes, business and industry training, and
social, recreational and cultural events.
To assist students who are planning to transfer, Kaskaskia College participates in the Illinois Articulation
Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows transfer of completed Illinois General Education Transfer
Core Curriculum between participating institutions.
The career and occupational programs are styled in accordance with the wants and needs of students, the
community, business and industry. The College is committed to working together with employers to assess
technological, educational, and training needs. Kaskaskia College’s partnerships with the region’s manufacturers
assure a valuable, educated workforce. The College serves as the primary resource for skills training programs
and technical and computer education for business and manufacturing in the district.
