Introduction
The Sussex County Community College (SCCC) opened in 1982, after being authorized by the New Jersey State Board of Higher Education the year before. The school was accredited in 1993 by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
Today, the school serves more than 4,000 students. The campus has dozens of classrooms for student use, in addition to science labs, art studios, and computer labs. Special buildings include the Business Learning Center, Entrepreneurial Center, Performing Arts Center, and a broadcasting studio. The entire SCCC campus is Wi-Fi enabled, letting students access the internet and the campus network from any academic building or from campus grounds.
Special buildings like the Business Learning Center, which has conference rooms, a professional lounge, and modern technology, are tailored to specific student and program needs. Other buildings, like the Performing Arts Center, give students the opportunity to develop and showcase their talent in a professional, community-oriented way. These facilities are continually improving and adapting to new programs and the changing economy in an effort to prepare students for life in the workforce.
