About ESLCCC

East St. Louis Community College Center (ESLCCC) brings an excellent educational resource to the community of East St. Louis by offering college classes from Southwestern Illinois College, Kaskaskia College and Shawnee Community College. ESLCCC has been in operation since January 1999, allowing students in East St. Louis and the surrounding areas to gain skills and experience to speed them on their way to interesting jobs and satisfying careers. In addition, ESLCCC serves as a community resource for the enrichment of young adults and children through a variety of programs offered on site. ESLCCC is committed to the values of the college concept. It recognizes the uniqueness of the individual and the diversity of his/her needs.

The center is committed to a philosophy that believes in the dignity and worth of each individual regardless of race, creed, gender, physical abilities and natural or ethnic origin. As its mission ESLCCC strives to become the educational and cultural center of the community by providing for the development of intellectual, social, personal and productive skills to all persons who reside within the community.

We believe that education is the key to preparing individuals to meet the economic, social and multicultural issues of the new millennium. ESLCCC is administered by the Southern Illinois Collegiate Common Market (SICCM), a not-for-profit group of four community colleges and two universities who work together under the direction of the Illinois Community College Board to provide classes and services to the East St. Louis region.
