Herkimer County Community College School Description

In July 2006, HCCC celebrated a milestone—40 years of excellence in education. It was in the 1960s that the State University of New York Master Plan identified Herkimer County as a potential community college site, a location and a community that showed great promise to support such an important endeavor. It was the commitment of a small upstate New York community that began a unique and very special story.

Overlooking a small village in Upstate New York, HCCC is a two-year unit of the State University of New York, the nation’s largest comprehensive system of public higher education. A two-year degree from Herkimer prepares students for jobs or to continue their education at a four-year school. It provides a central meeting place that brings the community together to learn, whether it is to experience the arts or to cheer on the Herkimer Generals athletics teams at Wehrum Stadium—the home of the champions!

The mission of Herkimer County Community College is to:

* provide a wide range of students with access to quality, affordable lifelong learning opportunities;
* foster diversity by attracting students from other countries, states, and counties as well as from the local area;
* offer quality associate degree and certificate programs in response to local and regional needs;
* facilitate student achievement by offering arts and science degree transfer programs that provide a strong liberal arts and science foundation and applied science degree and certificate programs that focus on specific career interests;
* offer a variety of innovative and technical programs and services to students and the community; and
* provide business and industry training thereby strengthening the economic development of the region and enhancing its position in the global marketplace.

HCCC's nickname, "The Generals," honors Gen. Nicholas Herkimer, a Revolutionary War commander. In 1777, General Herkimer led a brave band of 800 American Colonists (called the Tryon County Militia) on a two-day march (which started just down the hill from our campus) to engage the British (and some of their friends) at the Battle of Oriskany.

Some say this battle served notice to the Redcoats that they were in for the hassle of their lives (truer words were never spoken!). The General's spirit of leadership, challenge and accomplishment lives on at HCCC today!

Our students, alumni, and local community members have enjoyed and benefited from the excellent programs, services and facilities here at HCCC for 40 years. We hope you will too!
