Congratulations on your decision to make Aims Community College a part of your future. While I would like to visit with each of you to tell you how Aims has enriched thousands of lives, a personal visit is not possible.

Instead, I urge you to utilize this resource information. It contains valuable data about what is expected of you as a student as well as advice about your personal course of study.

For those who have just finished high school recently, your stay with us will be a time to grow, to learn, to have fun and to meet new friends. For those of you coming back to school after some period, I applaud your dedication and determination. I hope you too, have fun, meet new friends and enjoy the investments of your commitment.

Finally, a commitment from me to you: our instructors and staff are behind you 100 percent. That’s why we say, “If you want to succeed, we won’t let you fail.”

Welcome to Aims Community College and enjoy your stay.

Around the turn of the century the number of students seeking a college education was increasing, and educators advocated starting "Junior Colleges" where student could take their first two years of a higher education and then transfer to a four- year college or university. Today there are more than 1,100 two-year colleges--now generally called community colleges---serving almost 11 million students annually in credit and non-credit offerings.
