Broome Community College offers a quality educational experience providing you the opportunity to fulfill your goals
and to reach your full potential. We have been doing this successfully for nearly 50 years. Graduates from our institution
have successfully proven their abilities in some of the finest universities and colleges in our country. Successful graduates
have gone on to hold important positions in major corporations throughout the country. We at BCC are very proud of our
alumni and their accomplishments.
A major reason for our success in providing this quality education over the years has been an expert and highly dedicated _
faculty. A commitment to small class size, individualized attention, and special needs assistance guarantees students the
help they need in the classroom.
We feel that our students must have access to new technologies if they are to compete successfully in our global economy.
With that belief, BCC can boast of having made a continuing major investment in modern technology and equipment.
BCCis also proud of its tradition of offering a variety of social, recreational and fine arts activities. We encourage our students
to participate in student government, clubs and other activities and to enjoy the opportunity for a well-rounded education.
As you review the catalog, I think you will find that the programs of study we offer will allow for transfer to the university
or college of your choice or for immediate entry into the work force. I urge you to contact our admissions office or the dean
of any particular division to obtain more specific information about the programs in which you have an interest.
We at BCC are proud of our tradition and feel that we can offer you a quality education at a reasonable cost. Come take
a look at us.
Sincerely,
