Hudson County Community College (HCCC)

333 Hudson Terrace, Englewood Cliffs, NJ

Hudson County Community College, located in Hudson County, New Jersey, was founded in 1974 after several commissions identified a need for a post-secondary institution in the area. The school began offering technical and career programs that were reflective of the needs of the region. In 1994 the school went through a period of reorganization with a focus on increasing student enrollment.

By 2009, the school had one of the largest enrollments in the state, primarily due to the changes in the economy, and had one of its largest graduating classes in 2011 with over a thousand students. The school has an 18-1 student to teacher ratio, allowing for a more personalized education.  Additionally, HCCC is close to New York City, allowing access to a large number of galleries, museums, shows and more.

Academics

Hudson County Community College offers over thirty five programs of study that may result in certificates or associate degrees. Certificate career associate programs prepare students for entry into the workforce immediately after graduation. Certificate programs tend to be shorter than associate programs due to a lack of general education courses.

Academic programs generally fulfill the first two years of a four year education, and agreements in place with several four year institutions in the region allow for transfer upon completion. Saint Peter's College, which is local, allows graduates to transfer and continue their education at a reduced tuition.

Programs offered include:
