  • About ACC
    Arapahoe Community College, founded in 1965 as Arapahoe Junior College, was the first 2-year college in the greater Denver metro 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 Littleton Campus, ACC provides programs at the Sturm Collaboration Campus at Castle Rock, a partnership with Douglas County School District and CSU.
