Kansas City Kansas Community College (KCKCC) is a public two year community college located in Kansas City, Kansas, United States. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission,[1] a commission of the North Central Association[2] and the Kansas Board of Regents.[3]

History

Kansas City Kansas Community College was founded in 1923 as part of the Public School System of Kansas City, Kansas. In 1965, in accordance with legislation governing two-year colleges in the State of Kansas, the name of the college changed to Kansas City Kansas Junior College. In 1979, legislative action created another name change for the two-year colleges in the state. The term "junior" was dropped from their names and replaced with "community"; at this time the college officially became known as Kansas City Kansas Community College.[4]
