 Baltimore City Community College at the Crossroads March 1, 2002 - Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) is now in its sixth decade serving the people of Baltimore and Maryland. Located on two campuses in northwest Baltimore and at the Inner Harbor, plus five off-campus sites, the college had a Fall 2001 enrollment of 6,300 credit students and more than 12,000 non-credit students. The college has been the launching pad for thousands of students moving either directly into the working world or on to a four-year college. Topping its list of successes is BCCC’s nursing program, graduates of which achieve an almost perfect passing rate on professional exams every year – rates often exceeding those of other community colleges in Maryland and across the country. Among all BCCC career graduates, 97 percent are currently employed or continuing their education. Because 87 percent of them choose to work in Baltimore, the City is clearly the beneficiary of the community college’s efforts. The number of graduates at BCCC, however, is far too low to fulfill its mission of providing Baltimore with a “world-class workforce.” There are clear signs that BCCC has reached a crossroads in its diminishing ability to provide adequate access to a college education.
