Warren County Community College was established in July 1981 by the New Jersey State Board of Higher Education and the Warren County Board of Chosen Freeholders. In its earliest years, WCCC operated as a 'College without Walls' and held classes in local high schools. In 1987, the New Jersey State Board of Higher Education provided WCCC with degree-granting authority and a temporary facility was leased. In 1988, WCCC graduated its first class. Warren County Community College is governed by an 11-member Board of Trustees and a non-voting alumni trustee. The Board is authorized to grant Certificates and to confer the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science degrees. Warren County Community College currently offers degree programs and certificate programs. The College serves approximately 2300 full-time and part-time students, in addition to students in non-credit programs and courses.
