New Jersey's Community Colleges
​
In a rapidly changing world and intensely competitive global economy, New Jersey’s community colleges are critical institutions of higher education and economic opportunity, able to reach a significant proportion of the state’s population and offer an affordable, high-quality education that serves the complex needs of students, employers, and local communities.
​
Many of New Jersey’s 18 community colleges were created 50 years ago, and now serve more than 170,000 people each year in credit, non-credit, and workforce development courses.
​
New Jersey’s community colleges are uniquely positioned to help the economy grow, industries thrive, and people succeed in an era of rapid economic, social, and technological change.
