School Notes
Dawson Community College (DCC) was established in 1940 as a
public junior college. During the next several decades the junior
college underwent several changes, including a separation from the
Dawson County High School, a move to the present location, a name
change, and an expansion of its mission to become a full service
community college. Dawson Community College offers a wide range of
transfer programs and vocational degrees along with one year
certificates to meet the educational needs of eastern Montana. The
college also offers workshops, short courses, and adult education
opportunities. Courses are available on campus, online, and by
instructional television. The main campus building currently houses
the administration, faculty and staff offices, classrooms,
laboratories, library, learning center, computer classrooms,
student center and lounge, bookstore, community room, gymnasium,
and weight room. Dawson Community College athletic programs provide
collegiate competition and home town action for the general student
body's personal enjoyment. The varsity sports available are men's
and women's basketball, men's and women's rodeo, men's baseball,
and women's fast pitch softball. Dawson Community College is
accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and
Universities, an institutional accrediting body recognized by the
Council for Higher Education Accreditation and/or the Secretary of
