The College has been serving the residents of Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley for almost 50 years, since 1957. The mission of Dutchess Community College is to provide open access to affordable, quality post-secondary education to citizens of Dutchess County and others. As a comprehensive community college, DCC offers college transfer and occupational/technical degree programs, certificate programs, lifelong learning opportunities, and service to the community. The College provides educational experiences that enable qualified students to expand their academic capabilities and further develop thinking and decision making skills. By providing a full collegiate experience, the College seeks to ensure that all students achieve their individual potential.
One-third of Dutchess County public high school graduates from 2005 – one out of three graduates – attend DCC. This percentage is the highest of any other community college in the state, and is a testament to how highly the community values the benefit of a Dutchess education.
