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
including being #1 in the Top 100 Best Places to Live ranking in 2018 conducted by Livability. The city hosts the best schools and
universities in the entire state of Michigan and education is a priority for Ann Arbor locals. With more than 90% of residents living within
a 10-minute walk of a public park, Ann Arbor ranks high in walkability. Charming streets lined with bookstores, shopping, and unique
culinary offerings set the backdrop for street fairs and a thriving arts scene. There are endless opportunities for sports, hiking and to
