About Heartland Community College
The youngest community college in the state, Heartland Community College is an open admission resource for affordable higher education with a focus on student success.
More than 40 programs for career training and transfer preparation are offered in an attractive campus setting with multiple new facilities. Among the main facilities on the 160-acre campus is the sustainably constructed, LEED certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Workforce Development Center. A founding member of the Illinois Community College Sustainability Network, Heartland provides training and education to respond to workforce needs of the green economy.
In addition to more than 5,200 credit students, Heartland Community College provides a diverse selection of non-credit enrichment, recreation and professional development classes for more than 8,000 community members. Heartland's College Development Plan -- Beyond Buildings -- includes the completion of several more facilities to support instruction and the student experience by 2011, including an additional instruction building, a student center addition, a community education center and a fitness and recreation center. In addition, a sports complex on campus will house the newly formed CornBelters professional baseball team, host a variety of community entertainment events, and will become the permanent home of Heartland Hawks softball, baseball and men's and women's soccer.
