Introduction
Butler County Community College, or BC3 as it is commonly known, was founded in 1965. Its main campus is located in Butler, PA and three additional satellite campuses can be found in Cranberry Township, Newcastle, and Hermitage. The school is a comprehensive two-year college offering certificates for those who wish to add new skills and advance in their careers as well as associate degrees that help prepare students to further their education at a four-year college or university or for entry-level jobs in the workforce.
This commuter campus offers programs that are often a mix of traditional class time and online distance learning, which creates a lot of flexible opportunities for those already with careers.
