School Notes
Wayne County Community College District has completed 35 years of
uninterrupted operation and development of comprehensive
educational services. Both directly and indirectly, our students
and the 2.3 million people living within the College's service
district have enjoyed the benefits of constantly improved
instructional programs and community services. The Wayne County
Community College District (WCCCD) is a multi-campus multi-cultural
institution seeking to improve the quality of life in our
communities. WCCCD provides affordable higher education and
flexible training opportunities through a diverse catalog of
courses, programs, and initiatives. The College's five campuses are
located in industrial, rural and metropolitan areas where a major
share of Michigan's technical and skilled occupations is located.
Because of the diversity of its service areas, WCCCD places a
strong emphasis on occupational and career programs, and
traditional college and university transfer programs, including
those within the liberal arts discipline. For many of our students
the college offers an opportunity to transfer to four – year
colleges or universities to obtain advanced degrees. Others pursue
self-enrichment through a wide variety of non-credit workshops,
from personal financial planning and property management to basic
and intermediate computer skill training, through the college's
Community Education Department. Wayne County Community College
District has received a 10-year accreditation at the associate's
degree levels by the Commission on Institutions Higher Education of
