The educational philosophy of the college calls for the institution
to accept students as they are, to test them, to counsel them into
appropriate programs and to assist them in attaining the highest
possible level of achievement through educational, personal and
social experiences. The first four community colleges in Kansas
were established in 1919, and GCCC is one of two from that group
which still exist. It was created by county-wide election on April
1, 1919, and opened in September of the same year. GCCC initially
shared facilities in Sabine Hall and Calkins Hall in the 100 block
of Buffalo Jones Avenue with Garden City High School, and opened
with a first class of less than three dozen students. The present
14-building, 63-acre campus at 801 Campus Drive was designed
between July, 1965 and January, 1966. Garden City Community College
is officially accredited by the North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools. In addition, the GCCC Nursing Program is
accredited by the Kansas State Board of Nursing and the National
League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).
For Kansas public community colleges, the average tuition is approximately $3,402 per year for in-state students and $4,296 for out-of-state students.
