School Details
On October 24, 1961, residents of the Livonia, Plymouth-Canton, Garden City and Clarenceville school districts voted to establish a community college in an effort to create an environment for individuals seeking the opportunity to grow intellectually and strengthen their economic independence. Originally called Northwest Wayne Community College to reflect the communities that encompassed the college’s district and primary areas of service, the name was changed in February 1963 to Schoolcraft College in honor of Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, a 19th century explorer, scholar and Indian agent who played a part in the early development of Michigan. The school’s mission is “to provide a transformational learning experience designed to increase the capacity of individuals and groups to achieve intellectual, social, and economic goals.”
Schoolcraft has a welcoming environment, and offers real-world experience with transformative outcomes. Career and educational pathways include business, art, healthcare, manufacturing, STEM, engineering, culinary, hospitality, and more. Schoolcraft College offers classes, certificate programs, and associate degrees designed to lead directly to employment or to transfer to a four-year college or university. Schoolcraft Distance Learning offers degree and certificates that can be completed entirely online, or in a hybrid format.
