DEARBORN — Henry Ford Community College earned national recognition recently as one of the top 100 associate degree producers in 2013, according to the June 24, 2013 issue of Community College Week, a national publication. 

HFCC earned distinction in three specific categories: a rank of 26th in the Top 50 Associate Degree Producers for Education; a rank of 31st in the Top 50 Associate Degree Producers for Nursing—Registered, Administration, Research and Clinical; and the 71st ranking in the Top 100 Producers of Associate’s Degrees for African Americans. 

Community College Week used data made available by the U.S. Department of Education for the 2013 rankings. 

Dr. Stan Jensen, president of HFCC, said that these rankings serve as an important measuring stick for students when making decisions about which community college to attend.  

“There are over 1,250 community colleges in the United States.  Our goal is to increasingly achieve rankings in the top 10 percent of all community colleges,” he said.
