Community Education

Community-based programs address student learning at all ages. LLCC has something for everyone, offering a variety of programming in a multitude of settings.

Early learners are introduced to LLCC through Youth Enrichment Services programming, including the annual summer College for Kids. Adult learners of all ages are able to participate in an array of non-credit classes, workshops, events and travel opportunities as they pursue personal interests by enrolling in short-term Community Learning courses. More than 400 offerings are scheduled on the Springfield campus, at outreach locations and at other sites throughout the district each year.

Additionally, senior students (50 years of age and older) can fulfill personal learning goals for enrichment and socialization by becoming members of the Academy of Lifelong Learning at LLCC. Through the Academy, seniors are able to take advantage of more than 12 free learning opportunities each month.

Lincoln Land Community College is also an approved provider of several Road Scholar/Elderhostel experiences each year, which helps the profile and the economic development of the Springfield area by bringing people from all over the United States to Springfield for in-depth studies about the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, prairie architecture and other topics of regional scope.
