| Kirkwood Community College - Cedar Rapids |
Everyone at Kirkwood Community College is pleased that you are considering us for your next level of educational achievement. Every new student is another new opportunity for us to serve present needs and future dreams. Your needs and plans are vital to what we all can do together.
You might be surprised to know that Kirkwood is well-known not only in Iowa, but across the nation and world. We have built a reputation as a place where creative learning happens in many ways. From our prestigious membership in the League for Innovation in the Community College to a recent award by a local business publication as the “Best Place to Work in Eastern Iowa,” Kirkwood has earned its spot among the leading two-year colleges in America.
Across our main campus and the twelve other locally based Kirkwood Centers, you’ll find modern facilities and equipment that match the dedication of our people. These talented, wise individuals are focused on your success. We know they will be your focused, faithful guides as you move toward your goals.
Finally, we suspect that you are interested in moving your goals forward, of seeking a better job or new career opportunities by coming to Kirkwood. Throughout our college we are also exploring new methods, better ways of serving our students and the community. Our college is among the first in the nation to adopt the Academic Quality Improvement Program, or AQIP. While the details of that might not be of interest to everyone, what you should know is that this AQIP process is our commitment to you and everyone we serve. It means that no matter what great things we have done in the past, we can all learn more, do better and continue to improve. We find excitement in excellence and want to share in that journey with you.
In historical terms, Kirkwood’s founding year of 1966 was not that long ago. There is so much more we need to do and want to accomplish. We are writing the next chapter in our history right now – and you are a part of that next chapter. You are the future of Kirkwood.
