Five Universities: Benedictine, Eastern Illinois, Governor’s State, National-Louis and Southern Illinois Carbondale offer bachelor’s or master’s degree programs on Triton’s campus. Our Scholars Program provides rigorous courses that are similar to those found at top tier four-year universities.

Many courses are offered in an interdisciplinary approach to teaching in which students approach the same subject matter through the lenses of various disciplines. Learning communities at Triton help students expand their horizons and see how all facets of education work together. We value students of all ages and interests. Triton is proud to promote intergenerational studies and activities, bringing together all members of our community to learn from each other. Furthermore, our Children’s and Senior Studies programs prove you’re never too young or old to learn! Many students will explore our Continuing Education offerings to update their skills, learn more about a new field or interest, and even keep their bodies as active as their minds. Our scheduling options make Triton accessible to learners of all ages. Through various site locations in addition to our River Grove campus and our growing online course offerings, Triton is never out of reach. As you explore our catalog, you will learn much about Triton. You will see that we have an impressive selection of academic programs. Whether you plan on pursuing a degree, advancing your career by taking a few courses, or planning to re-enter the workforce, Triton is ready to assist you in taking that important first step. We look forward to seeing you on campus.
