Hudson County Community College Opens Its Doors In Secaucus

SECAUCUS, NJ — This fall, for the first time ever, Hudson County Community College will open the doors of its new home in Secaucus, in the same location as the new High Tech High School campus.

The tech school and community college share the same campus, located right next to Laurel Hill Park, in what used to be the home of Field Station: Dinosaurs.

This September, Hudson County Community College will begin offering weekday evening courses at their Laurel Hill campus.

The community college still has campuses in Jersey City and Union City, and they also offer online classes, but their Secaucus location will be more accessible for students in Secaucus, Kearny, Harrison and East Newark, said the school. There is also a lot of free parking around the campus and it's less than a mile walk from the Secaucus train station. (You can get trains in and out of Hoboken and New York City.)

HCCC will offer full degree programs in two popular and in-demand programs – Associate in Arts Liberal Arts (General) and Associate in Science Business Administration. In addition, students studying at the College’s Secaucus Center will be able to complete their required, first-semester coursework in all of the HCCC majors offered (they offer degrees in more than 60 fields).

An HCCC Student Success Coach is on site to assist prospective students with degree planning, financial aid and scholarship applications, and transfer/career planning.

Hudson County Community College has more than than 16,000 full- and part-time students.

The HCCC Culinary Arts/Hospitality Management program was ranked number six in the U.S. by Best Choice Schools. Over 94 percent of HCCC Nursing program graduates passed the NCLEX first time out, placing the program's graduates in the top tier of two- and four-year nursing programs nationwide.

Approximately 83 percent of Hudson County Community College students receive financial assistance. The community college has partnerships with every major four-year college and university in the greater New Jersey-New York area, and many other institutions, so transferring for further undergraduate and graduate education is seamless, says the school.

Fall 2019 classes at the Secaucus center will begin on Wednesday, September 25, 2019. Information on course offerings and enrolling may be obtained by emailing admissions@hccc.edu or phoning 201-714-7200.
