Rockland Community College

NYU, Georgetown, Yale, Cornell and SUNY Purchase are some of the places where Rockland Community College (RCC) grads often transfer. Many become doctors, nurses, engineers, professors and professionals in the entertainment industry.

This is, in part, because of the faculty. Boasting numerous Fullbright Scholars, published authors, artists and SUNY Chancellor’s award winners, RCC students are learning from faculty who are tops in their field.

Because classes at RCC are small, everyone gets more one-on-one interaction with the impressive faculty.

RCC offers more than 50 programs in the humanities, social sciences, arts, business, math, technologies and natural sciences. Many students who do transfer, particularly to more competitive schools, enlist in RCC’s nationally recognized honors program.

RCC students may also enroll in programs such as Nursing, Culinary Arts, Paralegal Studies or Occupational Therapy Assistance, which can lead to a career.

RCC also has continuing education options, which provide classes for professionals needing to upgrade skills, as well as a comprehensive program for senior citizens that includes free academic, arts, professional and health classes.

RCC’s academic advising and transfer and career services help students to choose their academic and career pathway and take steps towards achieving it. The majority of students also benefit from financial aid.

While at RCC, students may enjoy sports and recreational facilities, athletic teams, and membership in student organizations, student publications, student government and community service.
