Quality education

RVC graduates who transfer to four-year universities in Illinois continue their success. They earn higher grade point averages than students who start out as freshmen at those schools.

Affordable tuition

The cost of attending RVC for two years is less than $6,000*, which is less than the cost of attending a state university for one year.

Find your path

Almost 60 percent of RVC students are undecided about their major. RVC is a great place to explore your options.

Plenty to choose from

RVC can help you select from our over 60 transfer areas and more than 20 career programs.
