Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) is a community college in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. With four campuses and four centers, the college offers associate's degrees, certificate and diploma programs.
The college opened Boyce Campus, in Monroeville, and Allegheny Campus, on Pittsburgh's North Side, in 1966. The following year, South Campus was opened; North Campus opened in 1972. The college also has centers, beyond the main campuses, that offer classes.
CCAC offers more than 150 programs, as well as lifelong learning, community education, continuing education and workforce training courses. During the 2012-2013 academic year, it had more than 32,000 credit and 28,000 non-credit students. Through articulation agreements, students are guaranteed admission, and the recognition of courses, at a number of institutions offering four-year degrees.
CCAC's academic programs lead to an associate degree, a certificate, or transfer to a four-year institution.
There are four student-run newspapers: the Allegheny View, the Boyce Collegian, the South Forum and the North Voice.
The Community College of Allegheny County has a campus or center within ten miles (16 km) of more than 95% of Allegheny County residents.
In Pittsburgh's Central Northside neighborhood and surrounded by Heinz Field, PNC Park, the Carnegie Science Center, and other notable landmarks, CCAC’s Allegheny Campus is the largest and only urban campus of the college.
Allegheny Campus features a blend of modern and historic architecture set on 10 acres (40,000 m2) in a neighborhood once known as Pittsburgh’s Millionaires’ Row and extending to the once posh "Monument Hill" area (that rises above and behind modern day Heinz Field) so named for a Civil War monument dedicated on May 30, 1871 by General George G. Meade and Governor John W. Geary. The centerpiece of the campus is the Student Services center, a 52,000-square-foot (4,800 m2) hub housing the enrollment and financial aid offices, classrooms, a student lounge, dining facilities and a 300-seat theatre/auditorium.
