The college was founded originally under the name Ahmedabad Arts and Science College at the Gheekanta campus in old walled city, in the heart of Ahmedabad. Steeped in history and tradition the college flourished to be further segregated into two separate entities: Ahmedabad Arts College and Ahmedabad Science College. With the changing academic scenario in 1981 commerce faculty was also introduced to meet the educational needs, thus renaming the college as Ahmedabad Arts and Commerce College. However, the campus for Arts faculty was shifted to the Vasna area thereby effectively coordinating and functioning between two distanced premises. Nonetheless after three decades the college was gradually but entirely shifted to the Vasna campus in June 2011. Currently, Dr. M. R. Prajapati (Associate Professor) from Department of English heads the esteemed institute as Principal in-charge.
All the faculties are enriched with profound knowledge in the subject area who always insist on imparting quality education thereby manifesting the vision and mission of our college. Emphasizing the importance of human element in pedagogy the teaching methods of student-centric learning have resulted in students winning accolades and awards in various competitions. Their socially and economically humble backgrounds have never been deterrent in their sincere efforts in uplifting themselves and ultimately their families towards a brighter and better future. With a strong alma matter in public service, theatre, art, music, business and profession the institute has carved a niche in giving back to the society its finest gems.
Education is a live, ever green, ever flowing process of learning which never ends. The campus community makes an humble effort to live up to its pure spirit and manifest its inherent joy.
