Hutchinson Community College is a public institution of higher education based in Hutchinson, Kansas, serving the South Central Kansas region. Founded in 1928, the college provides academic programs including transfer degrees, career technical education, and workforce development. It enrolls nearly 5,000 credit students per semester, with a similar number of participants in community service and non-credit activities.
The college offers a range of educational pathways. Its academic programs are designed to prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions or direct entry into the workforce. A dual enrollment programme allows high school students to earn college credit. Non-credit and community service programmes extend the institution's reach beyond traditional degree-seeking students.
Campus life includes athletics, clubs and organisations, fine arts programmes, and the Dillon Lecture Series. The college's mascot, the Blue Dragon (Duke), was selected by student vote in 1930.
