Executive Director Notes


    

     Welcome to KACCT

  • Community colleges prepare Kansans for economy-driving jobs faster than any other educational system.
  • Students with associate degrees earn up to 23% more than high school graduates, and most stay in their communities after graduation.
  • Community colleges are traditionally the most affordable college option, tuition and course fees range from $65 to $90 per credit hour.
  • A 36 credit hour technical certificate would cost about $2700, and an associate degree would cost approximately $4800.
  • In addition, community colleges provide training in in-demand fields such as nursing, dental hygiene, health information management,
          firefighting and
          law enforcement.  
  • Community Colleges also have partnerships with business and industry so that employees can update their skills and knowledge required to keep key industries growing. 
  • Researchers estimate that 20% to 40% of the nation's teachers began their education at community colleges.
  • 44% of students who receive baccalaureates or master's degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields
    attended a community college at some point in their careers.
  • Community colleges are key to the economic vitality of communities.
