Waukon Junior College

The Waukon Junior College was accredited by the Iowa State Department of Education for two years' college instruction.

It was open from the early 1920's through 1947. Any graduate of an accredited or standard four year high school was eligible to attend without examination. Declining enrollment and lack of community support caused the Junior College to be closed in May 1948.
