Henry Ford Community College (HFCC) is a public two-year college located in Dearborn, Michigan. The school, established in 1938,[1] is accredited by North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Michigan Commission on College Accreditation. The school was originally named Fordson Junior College when it was established in 1938. Later the college was adopted as Dearborn Junior College in 1946, before adopting its current institution name in 1952, which was named after the Henry Ford Trade School which closed and its assets were transferred to the Dearborn School Board of Education.
