About the
Institution
Washtenaw Community College was established in 1965, when Washtenaw County voters passed a millage to provide
financial support for a countywide community college. WCC opened with a 6-member Board of Trustees, a newly appointed president, and a
parcel of land in Ann Arbor and Superior Townships. Classes started in September 1966 on a temporary campus at Willow Run, with 1200
students enrolled in 30 occupational programs and a transfer curriculum.
From this modest beginning, WCC has grown into one
of the nation’s premier community colleges with an annual enrollment of more than 18,000 students in credit classes each year, and
thousands more in Economic and College Development classes. The diverse student body includes more than 1,000 students from 100+ foreign
countries. The 285-acre campus and strategically located extension centers, operating resources, technology-enabled facilities, and
instructional quality are the envy of post-secondary education institutions near and far.
Living in the Area
Ann Arbor, with a population of 120,000, is consistently ranked “Best of” in numerous categories by multiple sources

universities in the entire state of Michigan and education is a priority for Ann Arbor locals. With more than 90% of residents living within
