President's Message
I am so pleased that you’ve taken the time to peruse the Bronx Community College website. For the past fifty years, BCC has provided quality education to citizens from the Bronx and beyond. With students from 109 different countries, we are one of the most diverse campuses in New York City. Our welcoming atmosphere and individual support for all of our students makes this a wonderful place to feel comfortable and to learn. In the 10 years since I became the first woman president of the College, my pride in the educational excellence of BCC has grown with each year...

History of the College
2007 marked the 50th anniversary of Bronx Community College which was established in 1957 after a decade of effort by civic-minded groups in Bronx County to meet the growing need for increased higher education facilities in the “Borough of Universities and Progress.” Classes began with 125 students on February 2, 1959 at the former site of the Bronx High School of Science at Creston Avenue and 184th Street.
