Did you know that the average age of a Moraine Valley student is about 25 years old? You would think that with all the high school graduates roaming the halls that number would be lower, but Moraine Valley provides educational services for students of any age.

If you are looking to become an adult student at Moraine Valley, look no further. The first step to success is to want it; step two is attending one of Moraine Valley’s “Coffee & Career Path Sessions.”

In these sessions, prospective adult students will attend a one-hour session where they will learn about the many programs and resources that are available to them and what it will take for them to become a student. Not only that, but free coffee!

For a list of dates and locations of one of these sessions, check the box on the right.
