Hudson County Community College was  established  in 1974  when  the  New Jersey Board  of  Higher  Education  approved  the  establishment  of  a community  college  commission  in  Hudson  County,  the  first  of
its  kind  in  the  country.  The  College  began  as  a  “contract”  college. As one of only two such colleges in the United States, and the  sole  contract  college  in  New  Jersey,  its  goal  was  to  offer programs to students  that  reflected  the  nature  of  the  job  market.  Hudson  County  Community  College  received  its official name  in  1981.
    In  the  past  several  years,  Hudson  County  Community  College has  realized  unprecedented  growth,  with  enrollment  and graduation  rates  increasing  significantly  each  year.  Enrollment has  risen  from  4,129  students  in  1996  to  9,400  in  Fall  2011.This  growth  is  a  result  of  careful  and  thoughtful   planning  to (1)  enlarge  the  depth  and  number  of  course/class  offerings (including  scheduling  “sunrise,”  weekend,  and  online  classes), (2)  enhance  students’  experiences  (including  the  establishment of a central counseling prog ram, and reorganized student activities  and  student  government  prog rams),  and  (3)  expand the  number  and  quality  of  its  facilities  by  adding  more  than eight  state-of-the-art  buildings  to  the  College’s  campuses.
