Founded in 1858, HCC is the oldest institution of higher education in the state of Kansas. HCC's small size and friendly atmosphere makes the college a student-friendly one. Here, students are known by their name, not their social security numbers. Small class sizes allow students to get to know both classmates and instructors. Campus activities range from intramural sports, to concerts and comedians, to trips for events in Kansas City, St, Joseph, MO, and Topeka.
Athletic scholarships are available.
