College Vision

Personal attention from faculty whose primary job is to help you learn will enhance your chances for success. Carroll’s professors are available to help you in and out of the classroom, and free tutoring is available when you need that extra assistance. Carroll classes typically have from 10 to 35 students. Freshman lectures at many universities have 250 or more students. Enjoy the better learning opportunities offered by Carroll’s small classes.

Carroll has invested in state-of-the-market technology used by leading businesses. With fewer students per computer than most other colleges, this technology is readily available to students. Students who transfer from Carroll to four-year universities often comment on how they miss the superior technology they enjoyed at Carroll.

Carroll’s tuition and fees are lower than other colleges because of support from the county and state. A year at Carroll is half the cost of a year at a University of Maryland campus, and a fourth to a seventh of the cost of a private college. Why pay two to seven times more? Enjoy a better freshman year at Carroll and save money for university tuition. Better yet, complete your first two years of college at Carroll and double your savings!

Carroll is an institution of higher education which invites students of all ages to learn in an atmosphere of integrity and in an institutional culture of caring and professionalism. We are pleased to say that Carroll Community College fully supports our students' pursuits of their endeavors.

Carroll Community College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Carroll County Community College is a 2-year Community College serving the residents of Carroll County, Maryland.

History

Responding to interest expressed by citizens of Carroll County, the Carroll County Board of Commissioners examined the need for additional educational opportunities in the county in 1973. As a result, the county commissioners appointed a team to conduct a special study to review the possibilities.

Catonsville Community College took an interest in the idea and presented a proposal, which was sent to a Carroll Community College Advisory Committee with the purpose of evaluating the recommendation for a community college. Then, a draft Community College Service Agreement was forwarded to Catonsville Community College. On February 10, 1976, the Carroll County Commissioners entered into a three-year contractual agreement with Catonsville Community College to establish a branch campus in Carroll County. The green light was given for the Carroll County branch of Catonsville Community College to begin its instructional program for more than 750 students with over 1500 course registrations.

As a result of a visit by the Maryland State Secretary of Higher Education, Dr. Shaila Aery, the college began to take steps towards becoming independent. In 1992, the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) directed the college to begin the process for it to achieve degree-granting status as a two-year community college.

In late 1992, the college met with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), to become accredited as a two-year, degree-granting institution. After visits by evaluating teams representing MHEC and MSCHE, degree-granting status was offered by MHEC in 1993 and candidacy with MSCHE was awarded the same year.

Carroll Community College was granted full accreditation in 1996. In 2006, college accreditation was reaffirmed. The next evaluation visit is scheduled for 2010.
