This report, produced by the Illinois Community College Board, summarizes the results of academic, career and technical education, adult education, and developmental education programs that were reviewed during fiscal year 2004.

Specific quality improvements at the local level are also highlighted.

A table illustrating this information by college can be found in the appendix. This report provides evidence that Illinois' comprehensive community colleges play a vital role in the state's educational and workforce preparation. The report also illustrates that the colleges are committed to continuous improvement of their programs and services. (Contains 3 tables.) [Cover title varies.
