Henry Ford College (HFC) is a public two-year college located in Dearborn, Michigan in Metro Detroit. The school, established in 1938, is accredited by North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Michigan Commission on College Accreditation. The school was originally named Fordson Junior College when it was established in 1938. Later the college was adopted as Dearborn Junior College in 1946, before adopting the name Henry Ford Community College (HFCC) in 1952, which was named after the Henry Ford Trade School which closed and its assets were transferred to the Dearborn School Board of Education. The name was shortened to Henry Ford College in 2014. The college has multiple nicknames, including "Hank High" and "Harvard on the Rouge."
HFC offers Associate Degrees and certificate programs in a wide variety of liberal arts, science, fine arts, culinary arts and health science disciplines. The college also has a Center for Lifelong Learning which offers non-credit courses for personal enrichment or professional development. Other offerings include an Honors Program, a chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (Alpha Xi Mu chapter) and the radio station WHFR 89.3 FM. It also holds discipline-specific accreditations for its many health science programs.
In addition to courses held on campus, HFC offers to students a choice in over 100 online courses, as well as hybrid courses, which split classroom time with online instruction. These courses provide a high quality educational experience, as well as convenience, for students that cannot, or do not wish to, commute to campus. Additionally, some degree programs can be completed online.
