Harold Washington College is a community college within the City Colleges of Chicago system of Chicago, Illinois. It is located in the Loop at 30 E Lake St. Founded in 1962 as Loop College, the college was renamed for the first African American mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington, after his death in 1987.
History
The school was dedicated to Washington's memory in a ceremony on April 19, 1988.[1] Elements of City-Wide College were joined to the college when the former was closed in 1993. The Dawson Technical Institute was under the auspices of the college from 1993 to 1995, when it became part of Kennedy-King College.[2]
Programs
The community college offers two year degrees in a wide variety of majors and provides transfer assistance to local four-year colleges and universities. It is also the only site in the city of Chicago for taxicab driver certification. In 2005 it finished renovations with the help of a city bond initiative that was the first of its kind in support of a City Colleges institution.
The Workforce Institute[3] of the City Colleges of Chicago is operated under Harold Washington College. The Workforce Institute is a different branch because it is dedicated to the design, development and delivery of high quality on-site training programs and services to businesses and the community.
