ECC offers nearly 150 degrees and certificates, which prepare hands-on classroom experiences to ensure our students have the tools needed to be successful from the start. We provide wraparound student support from the time of new student orientation through graduation, and veteran support services are available throughout a student’s time at the College.

Military Veterans

Elgin Community College supports military-connected students throughout their academic journey, providing information regarding veteran benefits as well as educational and career guidance. ECC champions the unique experience of veterans and recognizes their value in the community and beyond. We are a chapter member of S.A.L.U.T.E. Veterans National Honor Society to recognize the hard work and academic excellence that the student veteran achieves while attending ECC. ECC also provides Military Ally training, which is widely attended by staff and faculty, fostering a campus environment that is understanding and responsive to the needs and benefits of those that are military connected on campus.

Military Spouses

Elgin Community College supports military students and their family members every step of the process. Knowledgeable and dedicated staff are available to assist any service member’s family as they navigate the higher education and veteran benefit landscape. Acknowledging and appreciating the sacrifices made by a veteran’s family member, ECC provides a system of support that is a point of pride for the institution and the community.
