BALTIMORE CITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

ORIGIN & FUNCTIONS

In 1947, Baltimore City Community College originated when Baltimore Junior College was established. The College was reformed as the Community College of Baltimore in 1968. As the New Community College of Baltimore, a two-year school, it became a State institution of higher education in 1990 (Chapter 220, Acts of 1990). In 1992, the school received its present name (Chapter 208, Acts of 1992).

Baltimore City Community College offers programs for associate degrees and certificates in more than thirty fields, including computer science, electronics, nursing, business, allied health, legal assisting, and office technology. In addition to job training and transfer programs, the College offers extensive noncredit programs in basic literacy, General Education Development (G.E.D.) test preparation, and English as a second language. The College also works to meet the needs of Baltimore employers through courses and programs at its downtown Business and Continuing Education Center.

With a faculty of 113 full-time and over 200 part-time instructors, the College annually serves more than 8,000 students at the Liberty Heights campus, the Harbor campus, and many other sites throughout Baltimore.

The College is governed by a Board of Trustees. Appointed by the Governor with Senate advice and consent, the Board consists of nine members. Eight serve six-year terms; a student member serves a one-year term. The Board of Trustees appoints the President (Code Education Article, secs. 16-601 through 16-610).
