Independence Community College

Overview

Independence Community College (ICC), located in Independence, Kansas, is a public institution established in 1925. Known for its focus on a broad range of associate degree programs and certificates, the college offers a variety of academic options, with popular majors that include Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies, and Health Professions. Set in a small city environment, ICC provides a serene campus setting conducive to study and student engagement. While the college does not have a campus widely recognized for a singular architectural style, it offers on-campus living accommodations to support its student body. The campus's proximity to larger cities such as Wichita, which is roughly two hours away, allows students access to urban amenities. Admissions at ICC tend to be less selective, widening access to higher education for a diverse student population. Independence Community College does not have a strong emphasis on intercollegiate athletics and is therefore not particularly notable in this field.

Independence Community College has an open admission policy which permits enrollment by any high school graduate or GED holding student.  430 students are enrolled on a full time basis, and 379 attend part time. In-state tuition for 2022/2023, excluding room and board, is $2,100 plus fees of $2,340.
