Why choose DACC?

Danville Area Community College helps you get to work on an education that works. Don't let the excuses stop you.

I don't have time to go back to school. My job and my family need all the time I have.

DACC offers a flexible class schedule with classes during the day, night and even on the weekend. Additionally, classes are offered online, on video and via interactive video at satellite locations closer to your home.

I can barely make ends meet. I can't afford school.

DACC will work with you to determine your financial needs. From financial aidpackages to employer reimbursements to the FACTS Tuition Management Plan, we can find a way to make school affordable for you.

I'm too old for school. I'd feel silly going to classes with teenagers.

The average student at DACC is 30 years old. Sure, there are younger students, but there are older students as well.

I don't need a degree and I'm not transferring to a university. I just need to upgrade my skills.

Many people just need to keep up with evolving technology. Fortunately, DACC has many career-related courses available to bring you up to speed. We offer certificate programs that take less time, but give tangible proof of your training.

I have an Associate degree. I'm looking for a more advanced program.

Several senior institutions offer upper level courses right here on our campus, or over the internet. You don't have to leave the area to continue your education.

I'm not ready for college level courses. I never finished high school.

DACC offers courses that prepare you for your GED. We also offer Basic Skills classes in reading, writing and arithmetic for people who got their high school diploma, but still need a little extra help.
