Welcome to Dutchess Community College on the Web! We are pleased to be a part of the wealth of information available on the Internet, and hope you enjoy navigating our site.

Dutchess Community College has been serving the residents of Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley for more than 40 years. We are a part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, and are accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges.

We are proud of our service and commitment to educational excellence, and invite you to explore our more than 45 different academic programs. We offer Associate's degrees and Certificates and our curriculums include career-oriented programs as well as those designed for successful transfer to a four-year college or university. You will find a complete description of our academic offerings by clicking the "Academics" link in the left column.

Our campus is currently under expansion. We recently added a new academic building dedicated to science and art, complete with state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories. Our other facilities are also visually appealing and technologically exciting — come see for yourself! We offer campus tours regularly, and would be happy to arrange a visit for you.

The faculty at DCC have a strong commitment to student success. One of our finest trademarks is the success of our graduates. DCC boasts an alumni family of more than 25,000 individuals, and more than half of these people make their home in the Hudson Valley. Some of the region's most prominent civic and community leaders are Dutchess graduates, and in many families there are second and third generation DCC students.
