Kellogg Community College
About
Kellogg Community College was founded in 1956 by the Battle Creek Board of Education. In 1970, voters created an area-wide college district supported by local tax dollars. KCC, which has sites in Battle Creek, Albion, Coldwater, Hastings, and in the Fort Custer Industrial Park, offers customizable transfer pathways for students in addition to 39 associate degree programs, 29 certificate programs, seven categories of professional certifications and dozens of short-term, non-credit courses.
Kellogg Community College serves approximately 4,800 students annually via five campuses, customized training and online coursework.
The College was fully reaccredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools most recently in 2022.
The KCC service district covers Barry, Branch and Calhoun counties in south central Michigan. The tax district includes most of Calhoun County and small portions of Barry, Branch, Hillsdale, Kalamazoo and St. Joseph counties. KCC, a nonprofit institution, is governed by a publicly elected Board of Trustees, which sets policy and budgeting priorities.
“We are dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality education to enrich our community and the lives of individual learners.”
KCC is committed to supporting students who may be facing any type of insecurity, and helping provide resources for students to succeed both in and outside of the classroom.
The Beyond Tuition Assistance fund was created to help students with financial resources in serious times of need. It is intended to help break down barriers students may be facing to their academic success.
