Midstate College is an important part of Peoria, Illinois’ history. Since 1888, Midstate College has provided an important link between the educational pursuits of individuals and their careers within the business community. As a comfortable place for students of all ages and backgrounds to pursue education, Midstate College has served the varied needs that this broad population demands. The ease of interaction between faculty, staff and students has made the system responsive in a way that is unmatched by any other institution in Central Illinois.

Up-to-date information is taught through modern methods and technology - both in the actual classroom and online in virtual classrooms. Also, the faculty and staff are easy to contact whenever needed. Students enjoy conversation and study whether in the library, or working on group assignments for online courses. Individual skills and growth are combined with group assignments and team efforts to develop a graduate that can succeed in any employment setting.

Students come from the surrounding metropolitan area, all of Illinois, and many other states. There are many transfer students with one to four years of college and an increasing number of adults in continuing education. We are proud of our ambitious and talented students with definite career goals in mind. While most are preparing themselves for immediate employment, others are continuing their education. Midstate College graduates have established an excellent record with employers for more than 120 years.
