Jefferson College is among the few public institutions in Jefferson County that have an impact on every individual, regardless of age or residence. Since it's creation by voters in 1963, Jefferson County residents have continually regarded the College as the preferred source for higher education. In addition to its core mission of preparing students for career and transfer education opportunities, the College plays an integral part in our community by leading and hosting numerous programs and services that reach far beyond the walls of its classrooms and locations.
