Home / About / Who We Are / About the College About Jackson College At Jackson College, we provide high-quality, transformative educational experiences designed to prepare students for successful careers or to transfer to universities. Our commitment to student success is reflected in our expert faculty, robust academic support, and comprehensive student services, ensuring every student has the tools they need to succeed. Founded in 1928 as Jackson Junior College, we have continuously evolved to meet the needs of our community and students. In 1962, the college became an independent entity, and rapid growth in the 1960s led to the construction of our current campus. As we expanded our offerings to include bachelor’s degrees and broadened our global focus, we officially became Jackson College in 2013.
