Aims Community College

Aims Community College stands as a cornerstone of accessible higher education in Northern Colorado, rooted in a vision to serve the region's burgeoning need for a two-year institution. Born from a community initiative in 1965 and officially established in 1967, Aims quickly grew from its inaugural class of 949 students in Greeley to become a multi-campus institution, dedicated to providing educational pathways for diverse learners.

The college’s history is marked by steady growth and adaptation, demonstrating its commitment to student success. From purchasing a permanent 175-acre site in Greeley in 1969 to opening additional campuses in Fort Lupton and Loveland, Aims has continually expanded its reach and resources. This evolution reflects a responsive approach to community needs, ensuring that residents across Weld County have convenient access to quality education.

Prospective students and families will find a college with a rich history of community service and a forward-thinking approach to academics, as evidenced by its transition to a semester system in 2004 for enhanced learning. Aims Community College is more than just a place to earn a degree; it’s an integral part of the Northern Colorado landscape, fostering personal and professional development and preparing students for the future. Its recent investment in a new flight hangar further highlights its commitment to specialized, career-focused programs, offering tangible skills for in-demand industries.
