Welcome to the official Gem City College Facebook Page.
Gem City College was founded in 1870 by D.L. Mussellman as an institue of penmanship and bookkeeping. It was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1892. For over a century it has developed a reputation for excellent training for careers in business, industry and government.
In 1961 the school of horology was added and the name was changed from Gem City Business College to the current Gem City College. A faculty of experienced instructors offers students the individual attention necessary for maximum personal and professional development.
The current Gem City College facility was erected in 1964, and is now the home to the school's Horology and Cosmetology departments.
The Quincy Beauty Academy has been in continuous operation since 1945, training students in the skills of cosmetology. It became a Division of Gem City College on January 1, 1975. With a large customer clinic, dispensary, and adjoining classrooms, the students will find the appropriate atmosphere for the learning and practice of cosmetology.
It is the mission of Gem City College to offer its students specialized training leading directly to careers in business, intustry, government, or self-employment. Our programs are designed to meet the changing needs of business as well as a diverse student population. It is the policy of the College to offer equal educational opportunities to qualified persons regardless of race, religion, age, sex or physical disability.
