Earn College Credit While in High School

Peace’s partnership with Moraine Valley Community College allows students a small choice of general education courses at Peace. If you earn an A or B in the designated course, you will receive college credit. Upon graduation, you can transfer this credit to the more than 100 participating Illinois colleges and universities. You’re not even required to attend MVCC after high-school graduation in order to take advantage of the credit.
