Community colleges are unique institutions. As multifaceted as the ages and interests of their students, they react swiftly to change. As the first locally sponsored community college accepted into the State University of New York, Jamestown Community College has been in the forefront of this exciting development in education since 1950. By providing high quality transfer programs for the university-bound, occupational skills for the career-minded, flexible schedules for working students, and specialized programs for business, industry, and professional groups, and by being the cultural center of the community, JCC attempts to reach every segment of the population in the area it serves.

Course Descriptions

Courses available each semester
All regular credit courses (any term will show all courses regardless of term)

The number of credit hours assigned to each course and more information on subject areas can be found in Banner. Course numbers are designated as follows: 0000-0999 - imputed and developmental courses; 1000-1999 - freshman level courses; and 2000-2999 - sophomore level courses. All courses required to earn a specific associate degree are normally offered with such frequency that a full-time student can earn the degree in a two-year period. Each course description has designations indicating which semester and on which campus (Jamestown - J, Cattaraugus County Campus - C, or Online) the college intends to offer the course. Certain courses do not have a designation indicating which semester they are offered; these courses may or may not be offered on the specified campus(es) during a given academic year. The college reserves the right to cancel course offerings if enrollment is insufficient. JCC also offers credit-free courses, seminars, and workshops. For more information, contact Workforce Development.
