Overview:

Bucks County Community College was founded in 1964 in response to a need for a public two-year collegiate institution to serve graduates of the County's high schools and other citizens of Bucks County who would benefit from an experience in higher education.

Location:

BCCC has three campuses: a main campus in Newtown, an "upper county" campus in the town of Perkasie, and a "lower county" campus in the town of Bristol.

Academics:

Students can earn either a two-year Associate of Arts degree, or a certificate in a particular field of study. There are two types of associate degree majors: occupational and transfer.

Occupational majors are designed to prepare students to attain entry level positions in a designated career area.

Transfer majors are designed to parallel the first two years of study in a variety of subject areas at the four-year institutions to which students can then transfer.

Student Body / Faculty:

Total student enrollment exceeds 10,000.

No information is available about faculty size or student to teacher ratio.
