What do we do?

College Cooperative Southeast (CCS) Coordinators give you individual assistance to create postsecondary opportunities in Southeast Indiana.  You can choose from over 130 degree programs and over 2,000 distance education courses each semester that can lead to an Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctor’s degree.  Also available are postsecondary classes designed to improve job skills, meet professional certification requirements, or to explore personal interests.

Why are we needed?

Bureau of Census figures show that in Indiana, 21% of Hoosiers 25 years and older have earned a college degree. Nationally, census figures show 28% of that same age range have earned at least a bachelor’s degree. Indiana ranks 46th in the nation for percentage of residents with bachelor or graduate degrees for residents 25 years and older. 63% of Hoosiers who graduate from high school attend postsecondary institutions, which ranks Indiana 10th in the country.

Southeastern Indiana communities rely on CCS Learning Centers to provide postsecondary information to assist individuals in completing an associates, graduate or postgraduate degree. Southeast Indiana communities strongly support the learning centers throughout the the 10 southeastern Indiana counties served by CCS making each learning center an integral part of each community.
