Hutchinson Community College is a public institution of higher education founded in 1928. It is based in Hutchinson, Kansas, and serves the broader region of South Central Kansas. The college provides a comprehensive range of academic programs, including transfer degrees, career technical education, and workforce development courses.
The institution serves nearly 5,000 credit students per semester. It also offers community service and non-credit activities, serving a similar number of individuals through these programs. This dual focus on credit and non-credit education supports both traditional students and the wider community seeking professional development or personal enrichment.
Campus life includes athletics, clubs and organizations, fine arts programs, and the Dillon Lecture Series. The college maintains traditions dating back to its early years, including its Blue Dragon mascot, which was selected by a student vote in 1930.
