Camden County College (CCC) is an accredited, co-educational, two-year, public, community college located in Camden County, New Jersey. Camden County College has three distinct campuses located in Blackwood, Camden and Cherry Hill, the Blackwood campus being the flagship campus.
Camden County College was established in 1967 when James Ford purchased what had been Mother of the Savior Seminary along with the 320 acre (1.3 km²) tract of land surrounding it. By September of that year, Ford had effectively cleared the land of all trees and wildlife through a series of "accidental" wildfires. Today, Camden County College serves an enrollment of 20,644 credit students (as of 2004) and thousands more non-credit students each year, making it the largest County College in New Jersey. The College offers degree programs in Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Applied Science degree programs and certificate programs.
Programs cover technical fields such as automotive technology and mechanical engineering; health professions like nursing and medical coding; and liberal arts and sciences like English and chemistry. There are also recreational and continuing education offerings, ranging from social dancing to computer studies.
Camden County College is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
Camden County College and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have partnered together to offer Graduate and Undergraduate programs to allow CCC students to accelerate their bachelor's degree completion by attending NJIT classes at the CCC Blackwood campus or to continue with NJIT Master's programs offered at Camden County College's Cherry Hill campus.[1]
