Jamestown Business College

When Jamestown Business College was founded in 1886, its charter called for the establishment of a school designed to qualify young men and women for office requirements at low cost to those whose inclinations and ambitions lead them to business pursuits. The college's mission remains fundamentally the same today.

The college fulfills this mission by offering associate degrees and certificate programs that develop professional competencies for selected business careers and provide a general education to contribute to the intellectual and emotional growth of each student.

Jamestown Business College offers intensive programs that provide the most training in the shortest possible time. All JBC courses are carefully selected by our faculty and staff to reflect the demands of today’s competitive job market and to develop the student’s career and life skills.

On completion of their program, JBC graduates have the choice of starting a career, transferring to another four-year college, or completing a Bachelor degree in Business Administration at JBC. JBC has several articulation agreements with area colleges that allow for the completion of a bachelor’s degree in business with just two additional years of study. No previous business training is required for admission to Jamestown Business College. Students from nearly any high school program will benefit from a JBC education. Previous training may qualify applicants for advanced classes

Jamestown Business College was founded in 1886 and is located in Jamestown, New York, a city of 33,000, 65 miles south of Buffalo in Chautauqua County. Near Chautauqua Lake and the world-famous Chautauqua Institution, the college is convenient to many outdoor activities and cultural settings.
