Jefferson Davis Community College is a comprehensive community college with campuses in Brewton and Atmore offering students a
unique educational experience. Class sizes are small, allowing faculty to provide personalized instruction and hands-on training.
The College is committed to providing access to the latest information technology.
Extracurricular activities include athletic events, plays, musical productions, the Blueberry Festival, guest speakers, and other
special programs throughout the year. Several student organizations are available such as the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, the
Student Government Association, and various religious associations. Students at JDCC have the added benefit of an extremely
active Honors Program, awarding up to 30 scholarships per year. A major thrust of the Honors Program is travel for the students'
cultural enrichment with trips to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, the New Orleans Saenger Theatre, and the Dauphin Island Sea
Lab. The College's Training for Business and Industry program provides local companies with a wide range of technical, academic,
and administrative training. These courses are customized to meet specific needs of targeted employees and can be provided on
campus or at the work site itself. In keeping with the college's commitment to excellence, the athletic program offers baseball,
basketball, fast-pitch softball, and volleyball. Athletic director Karen Reynolds recently was inducted into the AJCAA Hall of
Fame. To their credit, the 1998 JDCC Warhawks baseball team won the Division II NJCAA National Championship.
Jefferson Davis Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097; Telephone: 404-680-4501) to award associate degrees.
