What Students Are Saying
Compared to universities or even other nearby community colleges, Black Hawk is a great value. Paying for it yourself is very manageable and is you receive any financial aid, it may easily cover the cost of an entire year. They also offer many scholarship opportunities. If you want to get in a year or two of college without going into debt, this is the place to do it.
A Student from IL
Considering Black Hawk College many equivalencies to courses offered at four-year institutions at a lower price and provides ample opportunities for students to get involved, celebrate or relax with clubs, organizations and events, it is well worth its price!
Victoria from Moline, IL
Why pay two or three times the price for the same education? Get your associates at a community college. Go online for textbooks, wherever you attend college. The bookstore is out to rob you.
AC from Moline, IL
When looking at all the courses that I took, I feel that I definitely received my money's worth. Going to Black Hawk college I did not expect to receive such a hands on experience. I was able to castrate pigs and bull calves, dock pig tails, give vaccinations, judge field plots, and so much more.
Emily from Poplar Grove, IL
Very reasonably priced! And many different scholarship opportunities, I've received one each year. Sometimes they're not much, but anything helps!
