About KCC

“Enhancing quality of life through learning” is KCC's mission. This means KCC prepares students to transfer to four-year colleges and to enter the workforce. Further, it means the college enriches the lives of community members through short-term and continuing education classes, certification training, and free programs such as literacy, GED preparation and English as a Second Language.
