Founded in 1964, our institution has grown with the community to meet the lifelong learning needs of Montgomery County residents, visitors and businesses. Known for academic excellence based on the successes of more than 90,000 alumni, we have been recognized multiple times for having the nation’s top faculty and for being the most technologically advanced community college in the country. Our mission is clear: to offer a high-quality, affordable, accessible education that leads to relevant, rewarding transfer and career opportunities. The results are even clearer.

• Our students who earn associate degrees seamlessly transfer to many public and private colleges and universities throughout the region.
• More than two-thirds of our career graduates are employed in their fields of study.
• Our Health Sciences Program graduates consistently exceed the average national pass rate on their professional certifications — many programs have 100 percent of graduates passing on their first attempt.

Our comprehensive curriculum includes more than 100 associate’s degree and certificate programs—including nearly a dozen online degree and certificate programs and several hybrid online/traditional programs—offered at our Blue Bell and Pottstown campuses and online. We also offer plenty of career training and continuing education programs for learners of all ages and backgrounds. Funded by Montgomery County, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and student tuition, we are governed by a 15-person Board of Trustees appointed by the Montgomery County Commissioners and are fully accredited by the Commission of Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. As a member of the Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count network, we are constantly honing research-based strategies that support student success. For several years we have been named to the national President’s Honor Roll for Community Service for our efforts to instill in our students the value of working for the betterment of the community. We invite you to take advantage of all we have to offer — from challenging educational and professional development opportunities to stimulating activities and cultural programs. Our doors are always open to the community.
