University Center at McHenry County College

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 onsite. We know that commuting or relocating is a big barrier to degree completion, which is why MCC is one of the few community colleges in Illinois offering this direct connection to great university partners.
