    City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) aims to ensure the success of every student and serve as an economic engine for the City of Chicago.

    City Colleges of Chicago is the largest community colleges system in Illinois and one of the largest in the nation, with 5,500 faculty and staff serving more than 100,000 students annually at seven colleges and six satellite sites.

    With locations across the city, the seven colleges include: Richard J. Daley College, Kennedy-King College, Malcolm X College, Olive-Harvey College, Harry S Truman College, Harold Washington College and Wilbur Wright College.

    City Colleges of Chicago launched a Reinvention in 2010, a collaborative effort to review and revise CCC programs and practices to ensure students leave CCC college-ready, career-ready, and prepared to pursue their life's goals.

    Since the launch of Reinvention, City Colleges has more than doubled its graduation rate and number of degrees awarded, and seen increases in transfer, adult education transitions, remedial transitions, and more. In that same time, City Colleges has saved $70 million, undertook a $545 million capital plan, and posted balanced budgets with no increase in property taxes.

    Over more than one hundred years, City Colleges has transformed the lives of more than one million students through education.  City Colleges of Chicago aims to ensure the success of every student and serve as an economic engine for the City of Chicago.
