Illinois Eastern Community Colleges (IECC) is a public community college district, not a private institution. It comprises four colleges: Frontier, Lincoln Trail, Olney Central, and Wabash Valley.
As a public entity, IECC receives state funding and offers affordable tuition rates for in-district students. It focuses on two-year associate degrees, certificates, and workforce training programs.
The district serves residents across multiple counties in eastern Illinois, adhering to the open-admission policies typical of public community colleges. Its governance includes a publicly elected board of trustees, further confirming its public status.
