Jackson Community College

Jackson Community College (also known as JCC) is a community college located in Jackson County, Michigan. Originally established as Jackson Junior College in 1928, Jackson County electors voted to reincorporate the institution as a Community College District under Public Act 188 of 1955 in 1962. In 1964 voters approved a charter millage that continues to fund the community college to this day.

JCC has held continuous accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools since 1933 and offers 48 different degree and certificate programs at low cost to Jackson County and Michigan residents. It is a comprehensive community college dedicated to providing quality learning opportunities for individual growth and community involvement.

Today, the College serves nearly 10,000 students each year between its several locations, from its Central Campus located in Summit Township, the Flight Center at the Jackson County Airport, new Jackson Downtown Center, JCC @ LISD TECH (vocational-technical school) in Adrian, and the LeTarte Hillsdale Center in Hillsdale, as well as online programs that reach around the globe. Renovations are underway on a new North Campus facility that is scheduled to open in August 2012, located off Interstate 94 near the Elm Road exit, Jackson.

JCC's Central Campus offers Campus View student housing facilities, now serving as one of only a handful of community college in Michigan to offer student housing. The College provides a variety of Division II athletic programs, the most of any community college in the state.

JCC's curriculum prepares students for careers in high-demand fields through personal involvement, instruction and real-world learning. The College offers associate degrees, certificate programs, and transfer options to students. Classes are available year-round in a variety of formats, including traditional classroom teaching and online courses.
