Aims Community College is a public two-year college in Northern Colorado offering more than 200 degree and certificate programmes across four campuses, with small classes and a focus on transfer and workforce training.
Aims Community College, part of the Aims Local College District, is a fully accredited public two-year college serving Northern Colorado. Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Greeley, the institution has grown from a single campus to four locations across the region and serves more than 4,000 students. It delivers more than 200 degree and certificate programmes, with an emphasis on small class sizes and personalised attention from instructors, preparing students either to transfer to four-year universities or to enter the workforce directly.
The college is a Hispanic Serving Institution and describes its culture around five core values: authenticity and truthfulness, community, equity and professional respect, inclusiveness, and performance excellence. Its stated mission is to provide knowledge, skills and support services that advance quality of life and economic vitality in the region, and it notes that it continually adapts to meet the evolving needs of a diverse community. Facilities are described as state-of-the-art.
Affordability is central to the college's approach. A Tuition Promise Program offers tuition-free options for eligible students, and Weld County residents are charged what the college describes as the lowest tuition rate in Colorado. For staff, a four-day working week operates during the summer. The institution works across higher education, community college education and workforce development.
