About Arapahoe Community College

Founded by the residents of Littleton, Colorado in 1965 as Arapahoe Junior College, ACC was the first two-year college in the Greater Denver Metropolitan area. Today, ACC is a part of the 13-institution Colorado Community College System (CCCS).

Programs of study include seven guided pathways: Arts, Communication and Design; Business; Global, Human and Social Sciences; Health; Math and Science; Public Services, and; Technology. In partnership with local businesses and school districts, the College also operates a robust workforce development program. Much of ACC’s success comes from its collaboration and partnerships, both with other secondary and post-secondary educators and the wider community. ACC is number one in the state of Colorado for concurrent students, with 6,345 in 2020, serving 77 schools within seven school districts. It boasts over 30 transfer agreements with Colorado colleges and universities, and its economic impact in service in the region measured $337 million. The culmination of such collaboratio...n came in May 2018, when ACC broke ground on the ACC Sturm Collaboration Campus, a project between ACC, Colorado State University, and Douglas County School District. ACC is known throughout the region and the CCCS system for its willingness to test new learning models and educational platforms while matching the needs of its students with those of the community. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, ACC offered over 200 online courses and 36% of its students were enrolled in online classes.
