About this School
Bucks County Community College (BCCC) is a two-year community college located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. Founded in 1964, BCCC has three campuses: a main campus in Newtown, an "upper county" campus in the town of Perkasie, and a "lower county" campus in the town of Bristol. There are also various satellite facilites located throughout the county. The main Newtown campus is located on a former estate that Bucks County acquired in very early 1965 from Temple University, which had inherited it from Stella Elkins Tyler, a wealthy benefactor, only two years before. In May 2006, construction began adjacent to where the Bristol campus is housed now to build two new buildings that will add and permanently house more classrooms and labs. Construction is slated to be complete in Fall 2007. Currently, the College rents out space at the Bucks County Office Center (formerly Del-Haas High School). BCCC offers courses via face-to-face classroom-based instruction, as eLearning classes offered completely online, and in hybrid modes that combine face-to-face instruction with online learning.
