About ACC
Arapahoe Community College, founded in 1965 as Arapahoe Junior College, was the first two-year college in the Greater Denver Metropolitan area. The college grew out of a grassroots effort by Littleton residents who wanted to provide post-high school education in the area. In addition to the campus in Littleton, ACC has campuses in Parker and Castle Rock. In May 2018, ACC broke ground on the ACC Sturm Collaboration Campus, a project between ACC, Colorado State University, and Douglas County School District.
