Swift Current Campus is home to the only indoor fall protection and rig rescue tower in the province, SunDogs Athletics - the only competitive athletics program in Saskatchewan's regional college system, and a recently completed $13.5 million renovation and expansion.

Cypress Hills College and Prairie West College announced March 4, 2008, their intention to merge the two institutions into a new college to be called Great Plains College. The goal of the merger was to enhance and expand the programs and services for students who attend campuses in communities across western Saskatchewan from Warman to Maple Creek. The college also has created programs to support First Nations students and recently renewed a strategic alliance with the Office of the Treaty Commissioner to promote an inclusive educational environment.

The Swift Current campus has an athletic program known as the Great Plains SunDogs that compete in the Prairie Athletic Conference. They currently play men's and women's volleyball, and formerly men's and women's basketball.
