Quincy College

Quincy College is a public junior college located in Quincy, Massachusetts. It is an open admission commuter school that offers associate's degrees in professional fields of study. The school's first classes were offered at the Coddington Elementary School in 1956 as College Courses, Inc., after a committee was created to establish a new community college and Timothy L. Smith, historian and professor at the Eastern Nazarene College , was named its first director. It was sponsored by the Quincy School Department and used faculty from Eastern Nazarene. Another ENC history professor, Charles W.... Akers, became its first full-time director and transformed it into a junior college in 1958, naming it Quincy Junior College when it was first given power to grant associate's degrees in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. For many years, the Quincy community and the Patriot Ledger were disapproving of the new junior college.
