History
Guam Community College (GCC) was founded in 1977 for secondary or postsecondary students.[5] At the time of the GCC's establishment, the programs of the Community Career College at the University of Guam were relocated to the newly established GCC in November 1977; making up a substantial portion of its original program offerings.[5] Its campus is centrally located on 32.75 acres (13.25 ha) and has continuous improvements over the years.[6] The college plays an important role in the six island public high schools where it offers several significant education programs in Tourism, Marketing, AutoCad, Construction and many more.
