1,566 square miles area including Fulton, McDonough, Mason,
Schuyler and part of Knox counties. Spoon River College offers the
personalized, quality learning environment that prepares you for
success. Classes are small and the ability to work one-on-one with
individual faculty members is a priority. As a result, you are well
prepared for successful moves into four-year universities or the
