In 1965, the Illinois General Assembly established the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) to create a system of public community colleges that would be within easy reach of every resident. More than 50 years later, the Illinois Community College System covers the entire state with 48 colleges and one multi-community college center in 39 community college districts. Community colleges serve nearly 800,000 Illinois residents each year in credit and noncredit courses and many more through their public service programs.

Illinois community colleges share a common mission. They prepare people for college, for transfer to other colleges or universities, and for well paying jobs that demand high skills. Community colleges also provide adult literacy and continuing education and services. What makes each college unique is how the college responds to the community it serves. Colleges meet both local and statewide needs for education and workforce development through high-quality, affordable, accessible, and cost-effective programs and services.

The mission statement of the ICCB is:

• To administer the Public Community College Act in a manner that maximizes the ability of the community colleges to serve their communities.
• To promote cooperation within the system and accommodate those state of Illinois initiatives that are appropriate for community colleges.
• To be accountable to the students, employers, lawmakers, and taxpayers of Illinois.
• To provide high-quality, accessible, cost-effective educational opportunities for the individuals and communities they serve.
