Butler Community College
Butler Community College (BCC) is a public community college in El Dorado, Kansas.
In 1927, El Dorado Junior College was founded. The college name has evolved over the years: Butler County Junior College, Butler County Community Junior College, Butler County Community College (BCCC), then finally to its current name of Butler Community College.
The college briefly came into the national spotlight in the late 2000s when one of its students was murdered.
Jackie Vietti was school president from 1995 until her retirement in December 2012. In August 2013, Kimberly Krull became president of the college.
In January 2025, Kimberly Krull retired and Dr. Jackie Vietti returned as Interim President. It was announced on April 28, 2025 that the new President is Tamara Daniel.
During the first 40 years of the college, Butler's leaders were known as the dean. That changed in 1963, as Edwin Walbourn was named President when the school became a community college.
There are branch campuses throughout the area, in Andover, Council Grove, Marion, McConnell, Rose Hill, and distance-learning sites in high schools.
Butler is the second largest community college in Kansas, with 13,000 students annually across six campus locations. Most are commuters. The school is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs, the National League of Nursing, and the Kansas State Board of Nursing.
