Clinton Community College

Clinton Community College (CCC) is located in the heart of Clinton, Iowa. Founded in 1946 to originally serve World War II veterans, our campus has since expanded and now serves more than 1,500 students each year.

We are a welcoming community that fosters learning, collaboration, and personal growth. Our classrooms are filled with the latest technology and expert faculty who do more than teach; they guide, support, and mentor. We provide robust student services, resources, and activities that spark professional, and personal, growth.

In addition to the main campus on Lincoln Boulevard, we offer programs and classes at the Maquoketa Center, Clinton Career Advancement Center, DeWitt Career Advancement Center, and the Bickelhaupt Arboretum
