Clovis Community College (CCC) Introduction and Academics

Introduction

In 1961 Clovis Community College (CCC), located in Clovis, New Mexico, got its starts when Eastern New Mexico University formed a branch campus to offer evening college courses at Clovis High School in cooperation with Clovis Municipal Schools. Today, this two-year higher education institution offers associate degrees, and continues to work closely with Eastern New Mexico University. By 1978 the citizens of Clovis voted to support the construction of a new campus donated by Ervin Schepps in 1970, and the new and current campus offered its first classes in 1980.
