History
The Grand Rapids Junior College was established on September 21, 1914, after the University of Michigan faculty passed a resolution encouraging the establishment of a junior college in Michigan. Grand Rapids Junior College is the first junior college in Michigan. This college operates in High School, 421 Fountain St. NE, until 1924. Course offerings, based on the University of Michigan's offer, are mathematics, history, rhetoric and composition, German, Latin, biology, and physics. Everything is focused on college transfers. The university's first graduation class is 49 students, who pay $ 60 per year for tuition. The following year, to encourage enrollment, tuition is reduced to $ 40 per year for residents of Grand Rapids and $ 50 for nonresidents. In 1918 the Grand Rapids Junior College received initial accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
In 1944, colleges obtained the Main Building from the Grand Rapids Public School. Grand Rapids Public Schools Superintendent Arthur W. Krause closed the Davis High School of Engineering to save money and give the building to Grand Rapids Junior College. This is still called the Main Building today.
