Students pursue bright futures through programs in our College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business, and School of Education - as well as innovative interdisciplinary programs that cross traditional boundaries.

About Us : In July 2006, HCCC celebrated a milestone 40 years of excellence in education. It was in the 1960s that the State University of New York Master Plan identified Herkimer County as a potential community college site, a location and a community that showed great promise to support such an important endeavor.

Overlooking a small village in Upstate New York, HCCC is a two-year unit of the State University of New York, the nation’s largest comprehensive system of public higher education. A two-year degree from Herkimer prepares students for jobs or to continue their education at a four-year school.? Our students, alumni, and local community members have enjoyed and benefited from the excellent programs, services and facilities here at HCCC for 40 years.
