Since 1965, when we became the first two-year college in the greater Denver area, Arapahoe Community College has been the place of choice for people who want to Do More.

In 1970, the former Arapahoe Junior College became Arapahoe Community College. Adjacent to downtown Littleton, Colorado, and just 10 miles south of downtown Denver, ACC’s Littleton campus offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Colorado Rockies.

ACC Today

ACC is an open-door admissions institution, educating people from age 17 on up — with or without a high school diploma or General Education Development (GED) certificate. About 18,000 students attend ACC annually. ACC offers more than 100 degree and certificate programs. Most classes are held at the Main building, completed in 1974, on ACC’s 51-acre main campus. Our facilities include:

• The Weber Center for Learning Resources (library), completed in a $13 million renovation in 2001 of the Main building, is now the architectural centerpiece of campus
• A large Annex, completed in 1977, houses additional classrooms, laboratories, the Colorado Gallery of Arts, the automotive technology department and the Fitness Center, which includes a gymnasium and swimming pool
• The Art and Design Center, acquired in 1990 in downtown Littleton, houses ACC’s art, fine art, design and some technology programs, as well as the Arapahoe/Douglas Career and Technical School
• The University Center at Chaparral, ACC’s satellite campus in Parker that opened in 2000
