Jamestown Community College is a two-year, coed college in the SUNY system. JCC's main campus is in the city of Jamestown in Chautauqua County, New York. Also located in Chautauqua County is JCC's North County Extension Center, which is in Dunkirk. JCC's second main campus serves Cattaraugus County in Olean. A fourth site is located in Warren, Pennsylvania. The college offers degree and certificate programs in many areas.
Founded in 1950, Jamestown Community College was the first community college in the State University of New York system. The college has grown from an enrollment of 169 students attending classes at Jamestown High School to an enrollment of over 3,500 in a multi-campus institution. The Jamestown Campus is located on a 107-acre (0.43 km2) site at the foot of Chautauqua Lake in Jamestown, New York. The Cattaraugus County Campus is located 50 miles (80 km) east of Jamestown in Olean, New York.
JCC's Warren Center opened in 1987 to provide degrees in Business Administration and Social Science. JCC operates the Center under a contract with the Warren-Forest Higher Education Council, and the Center is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The Warren center is 25 miles south of Jamestown, New York.
Jamestown Community College is committed to connecting its students to their goals by providing challenging educational experiences in a caring environment. Founded in 1950 as a predominantly transfer, liberal arts oriented institution, JCC was among the first community colleges within the State University of New York.
JCC has remained committed to the humanities and liberal arts while expanding to meet the social imperatives of vocational education and community service. The threefold purpose of the college is to serve those students desiring transfer programs, provide technical and career programs for those who wish to seek employment immediately after graduation, and offer the community the opportunity to pursue part-time study for improvement of job skills and cultural enrichment.
In spring 2012, JCC was named the "Top Performing Public Two-Year College" in New York, according to a report published by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the nation's leading publication of news and information about colleges and universities. The report was created using research supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
