Welcome

Orange County Community College enjoys a reputation of excellence in academic and professional areas. Much of this recognition is directly linked to the caliber of you, our alumni, who have gone on to achieve distinction in your chosen field.

I am sure there are many reasons why you are a proud graduate of Orange County Community College. Two statistics about the college our faculty and staff often reference are:

Among the 34 New York community colleges, Orange County Community College graduates rank first in their academic success and persistence rates as they continue their education at senior colleges and universities.
Among all 64 campuses in the State University of New York, Orange County Community College is ranked last in grade inflation. That is the college administers fewer A’s and B’s than any of our sister campuses within the University.

It is our believe that those two points are closely related to each other and further evidence that Orange County Community College Alumni should take great pride in their education.
