Hinds Community College
Hinds Community College is a public community college with its main campus in Raymond, Mississippi, United States and branches in Jackson, Pearl, Utica, and Vicksburg.
The Hinds Community College District includes the counties of Hinds, Claiborne, Copiah, Rankin, and Warren. With an enrollment of over 12,000 students at six campuses, it is the largest community college in Mississippi.
The college currently provides academic college-level courses for the first two years of four-year degree programs that must be completed at senior colleges or universities. It also provides two-year technical degree programs, post-secondary career (formerly called "vocational") programs, secondary (high-school) career education, and short-term training and continuing education.
The Utica campus of Hinds Community College, formerly "Utica Junior College', was founded in 1903 as Utica Normal and Industrial Institute by Tuskegee graduate William H. Holtzclaw.
The Raymond campus began as a small agricultural high school in 1917 with 117 students and eight faculty members. In its transformation into a junior college, it began offering college-level academic courses in 1922 and was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1926.
During the World War II years, a vocational education curriculum was added to the college's offerings, and in the late 1960s, technical degree programs were added.
Branch locations in Jackson and Vicksburg were opened in the 1970s. These branches primarily offered high school vocational education, though some college-level night courses were taught. Utica Junior College, a historically black college whose history dates to 1903, merged with Hinds Junior College in 1982 under Federal court order as part of a class action racial discrimination lawsuit.
The Pearl-Rankin Vocational/Career Center was opened in the city of Pearl in 1983, offering high school vocational education and some college-level night courses. This branch later became the Rankin Campus; it now offers academic, technical, and career programs.
