Message from the President

I am delighted to welcome you to Tallahassee Community College during our 50th anniversary year. You are among the tens of thousands of students throughout those five decades who have chosen TCC for their college education. You have made a great choice. Here at TCC, we are focused on providing the opportunities and the support you need to be successful.

Although success means something different to each of us, the first step toward success is always setting a goal and making a plan to achieve that goal. Whether your goal is to transfer to a four-year university or to prepare for immediate entry into a career, we are committed to helping you get where you want to go.

Some of the best advice I can give you is to meet with an advisor frequently. Our advisors are experts on student success, and they can help you plan a strategy for steady progress toward completing your program. Advisors can also help you identify your strengths and define your career goals with our computer-assisted career guidance program and academic maps for the various programs we offer.

If you are enrolled in our Associate in Arts degree program, take advantage of TCC’s smaller classes, rigorous coursework and free academic support resources to make sure you are well-prepared to continue your education at a four-year university.

Take a look at the many career-focused degree and certificate programs we offer in a wide range of in-demand occupations. To get a great start on a career in healthcare, technology, public safety or a host of other areas, check out the complete list of these programs provided under Programs of Study in this catalog.

History of the College

Tallahassee Community College opened in 1966 to serve the post-high school educational needs of students from a district comprised of Gadsden, Leon and Wakulla counties. Although most students still come from this district, the College enrolls students from throughout Florida, from most states and many foreign countries. TCC has grown from an enrollment of 698 students in Fall 1966 to nearly 14,000 students in 2014.

1966-1975

An article published on September 13, 1966, in The Tampa Tribune, proclaimed, “New Tallahassee JC a success before it opens.” A few days later, at Godby High School and across town at Rickards High School, Tallahassee Junior College welcomed nearly 700 students its first year. Three new buildings were ready for occupancy on Appleyard Drive in time for the second year of operation. In 1968, the Legislature established the District Board of Trustees as the governing authority for the College; Tallahassee businessman Earl Lambert served three terms as the first board chairman. Tallahassee Junior College became Tallahassee Community College (TCC) in 1970 and one- and two-year occupational programs, including nursing, were added to the curriculum. The 1,000th person graduated. Dental hygiene was added and College enrollment approached 3,000.

1976-1985

During the second decade, enrollment steadily grew to more than 5,000. President Fred W. Turner retired and Dr. Marm M. Harris was named TCC’s second president. An artist series began to attract community leaders to the campus, enhancing the town/gown relationship. The TCC Foundation was established and the Lifetime Sports Complex opened. In 1983, Dr. James H. Hinson Jr. became TCC’s third president and led the College through a period of enrollment growth and legislative appropriations. Also in 1983, TCC students won the Math Olympics state title, beginning a tradition of student success in academic competition. A study reported TCC had a $47.2 million positive economic impact in the community.

1986-1995

As the fastest growing community college in Florida, TCC saw its enrollment jump by nearly 1,000 students in the first term of the third decade. By the end of the decade, enrollment had doubled. In 1988, TCC was first among Florida community colleges in the proportion of faculty members holding a Ph.D. “Eyrie,” the student literary magazine, was named best in the nation, and the student newspaper won state, regional and national accolades. An athletic program was re-established with a strong base in academics. A new library and administration building were added. The campus grew from 54 acres to more than 140. President Hinson led the College through a decade that also saw extensive renovation and campus infrastructure upgrades. TCC’s softball team won the National Junior College Athletic Association slow pitch championship in 1994.

1996-2005

With its fourth president, Dr. T.K. Wetherell, at the helm, numerous new career programs were added in the fourth decade, and cooperation with universities was enhanced. In 2000, TCC formed its first university partnership with Flagler College and has since partnered with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (2001), Barry University (2003), Saint Leo University (2006) and Thomas University (2010). As a result, students can pursue bachelor’s and graduate degrees without leaving TCC’s campus.

The College’s infrastructure continued to grow by leaps and bounds. In the mid-1990s, a new Student Union was constructed, as was the Technology and Professional Programs building, while a renovated facility became the Academic Computing Center. After the turn of the century, TCC opened the History and Social Sciences building (named for President Wetherell), the Computer Technology building and the Center for Workforce Development.

The TCC Alumni Association and Eagle Athletics Hall of Fame were established. The Challenge Scholarship Program and many other scholarships were established. Florida Governor Jeb Bush was the 2000 commencement speaker. The Brain Bowl team won its first state title. TCC acquired the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy (PTLEA).

Dr. Bill Law became TCC’s fifth President in 2002 and began launching new initiatives that resulted in greater community involvement for TCC.

2006-present

TCC celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006, highlighted by a series of community and alumni events, including the TCC Alumni Hall of Fame ceremony, Community Day at TCC and the 40th Anniversary Gala. That same year, TCC successfully completed its first capital campaign. The $10 million campaign included the largest private donation in the College’s history, a $2 million gift from Tallahassee’s Ghazvini family. Under President Bill Law’s leadership, TCC expanded its healthcare programs and placed a major emphasis on workforce development. Innovative teaching methods began to draw national recognition for faculty.

The William D. Law, Jr. Learning Commons opened in 2008, bringing all of the College’s academic support facilities together beneath one roof. In 2009, the TCC District Board of Trustees approved creation of the Florida Public Safety Institute (FPSI) to be the umbrella entity for the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy and several other training academies housed on the site in Gadsden County. A new FPSI conference center opened in 2009. That same year, TCC broke ground on the Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education. Reflecting its active commitment to student success, the College implemented electronic learning plans that allow students to monitor their progress toward their academic and career goals. The Advanced Manufacturing Training Center (AMTC), funded through a Department of Defense grant, opened on the main campus in August of 2010. The AMTC offers customized, high-quality manufacturing training in a state-of-the-art facility.

The presidency of Dr. Jim Murdaugh was launched on November 15, 2010. Murdaugh began his tenure as the College was increasing its focus on healthcare training programs and other workforce initiatives, while continuing to enhance the academic and support services provided to students in the university transfer program. In the fall of 2011, TCC’s Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education opened near Tallahassee’s two major hospitals. In 2012, the TCC Wakulla Center moved to a larger facility in Crawfordville, and the College broke ground on the Wakulla Environmental Institute in 2013. Also in 2013, TCC opened a new veterans success center in the Computer Technology building. The College broke ground on a new TCC Gadsden Center in late 2014 and spearheaded development of the Institute for Nonprofit Innovation and Excellence based in the TCC Capitol Center the same year. The Golden Guarantee programs that offer guaranteed transfer to Florida State University, Florida A & M University, and the University of West Florida were also launched in 2014. In 2016, TCC celebrated its 50th anniversary with a year-long series of special events and activities, including a 50th anniversary website offering profiles of notable alumni, archived photos and other materials. Also in 2016, TCC opened the Wakulla Environmental Institute and moved its operations in Gadsden County from the Quincy Center to the new TCC Gadsden Center.

TCC’s Commitment

TCC welcomes recent high school graduates and adults who wish to start or continue a college education. In addition, the College welcomes individuals who want to take courses for their enrichment or enjoyment. The policy of TCC’s District Board of Trustees is that no person shall, on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, genetic information, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or age, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination or harassment under any educational program or activity, or in any employment conditions or practices of the College.

Many TCC students are working toward the Associate in Arts degree for transfer to a four-year college or university. Many others seek one-year certificates or two-year degrees in career areas. TCC also provides noncredit courses and workforce development, professional development and adult education programs designed to enhance the skills needed to maintain current employment or to re-train for a new occupation.

The faculty at TCC is best described as a teaching faculty. Faculty members devote most of their time to teaching, working with students individually and helping them make the adjustment to college. Instructors impart knowledge to stimulate critical thinking, develop skills, and broaden and enrich student interest. Their major efforts are directed toward helping students master subject matter and reach their potential.

TCC uses a variety of educational delivery methods. Courses may be taught in the traditional campus classroom setting, online or at off-campus sites. The College also offers a full schedule of evening courses, making it more convenient for nontraditional students to pursue their academic and career goals.

The College is committed to making all its programs, services and facilities accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities in order for students to successfully transition to college and obtain maximum benefit from the educational experience.
