Founded in 1965, Cloud County Community College has been the cornerstone of higher education in North Central Kansas for almost 60 years.
The Concordia campus is made up of four buildings, grouped together on three levels, and connected by a central library. Additionally, Tech West houses the Nursing Department and the Child Care Center. There are 15 campus apartment buildings, as well as Thunder Heights, a 78-person, three-story building that offers private and semi-private rooms.
The Geary County Campus moved to its current location on the west side of Junction City in 1998 and is easily accessible from I-70 and US-77. This commuter campus offers several career and transfer programs and is honored to serve the Junction City/Geary County community and surrounding region, including military veterans, active duty military members and their dependents. With a variety of day and evening course offerings, students taking classes on campus have the privilege of flexible class scheduling.
At Cloud, there is something for everyone – from 12 programs of study, to athletics, to a wide variety of student activities. With an 11-to-1 faculty to student ratio, students have the luxury of small class sizes, giving them a more personal experience than at a four-year university. Attending Cloud is also a third the cost of universities, giving students the ability to save thousands of dollars while receiving a high-quality, student-centered education.
Students are successful at Cloud County, with nearly 50 percent graduating. Not only are students successful at Cloud, but they have a higher GPA when they transfer to universities than students who transfer from other Kansas community colleges.
Cloud County has strong relationships with high schools in our 12-county service area, and there are many opportunities for high school students to earn college credits. The easiest way is to take concurrent classes at students’ high schools during the school day. Many of Cloud’s courses are offered online for high school students to take, and there are also face-to-face class opportunities.
High School students can also take advantage of the Career and Technical Education Act, which allows Cloud to enroll high school sophomores, juniors and seniors in technical education courses without charging tuition. That’s right - FREE TUITION! Students taking these classes will only be responsible for paying course specific fees and book charges.
