COMPANY HISTORY
CCAC opened in September 1966, under the leadership of President Kermit C. Morrissey, assisted by two campus presidents and a college dean of administration. Initial enrollment was 1,516 students. At the time, there were two campuses – the urban site on Pittsburgh’s North Side, and a suburban location at Boyce Campus in Monroeville. South Campus was established in 1967, with evening classes first held at West Mifflin-South High School. The following year, the campus was moved to McKeesport until its present complex was completed in West Mifflin in 1973.  North Campus – first housed in leased facilities in 1972 and moved to its permanent location in McCandless in 1990 – was developed to meet the needs of northern AlleghenyCounty residents.

To accommodate the college’s rapid growth, various changes and expansions occurred at the campuses.   Nine college centers were created as satellite centers for the four main campuses.  The Braddock and Turtle Creek centers were combined in 2003 as the Braddock Hills center. In 2001, the college opened a center in Washington, Pennsylvania to provide convenient access to community college classes for the residents of that county. Additionally, CCAC has offered classes throughout the years at hundreds of school district, community, and workplace settings.

The college has consistently upgraded its curricula, facilities, and technology to meet the demands of the ever-changing job market.

CCAC’s academic programs lead to an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science or an Associate of Applied Science degree, and/or certificate. CCAC trains students for employment, transfer to four-year institutions, or both. The college also offers non-credit continuing education programs to enrich individuals’ personal and professional lives.
