History of TCC

Tallahassee Community College opened in 1966 to serve the residents of Leon, Gadsden and Wakulla counties, but the movement which led to its creation can be traced back nearly 20 years before that. In 1947, the Florida Minimum Foundation Program, a funding mechanism to combine state and local support for community colleges, was enacted, and, ten years later, the Community Junior College Master Plan was approved. These were the incentives for the development of a community college system that, today, is praised as a model for the nation, one that places a community college within easy commuting distance of 99 percent of the population.
