Calhoun Community College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Calhoun Community College is a two-year institution of higher learning, located in Decatur, Alabama, United States.

The largest of the 27 two-year institutions comprising The Alabama College System, Calhoun is an open-admission, coeducational, comprehensive community college dedicated to providing education to individuals in its four-county service area.

Offering 49 associate degree programs and 52 career/certificate programs, Calhoun serves just over 9,000 students at its 110-acre Decatur campus; its Huntsville/Cummings Research Park site; at Redstone Arsenal, a local military installation; and at the Limestone County Correctional Facility. Of Calhoun's 302 full-time employees, 133 serve on the college faculty. Over 80 percent of the full-time faculty possess at least a master's degree, and approximately 15 percent hold the doctorate.

For over 50 years, Calhoun has been an active member of North Alabama. Graduates of the college permeate the community, and many of them have gone on to complete baccalaureate degrees at other institutions in the area, or have entered the work force after successfully completing programs of study and training.

Named after John C. Calhoun, the 7th Vice-President of the United States. He was a War Hawk of 1812, hence the Calhoun athletic teams names.
