Erie Community College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erie Community College, or ECC, is a two-year community college that is part of the 64-campus SUNY system. It is the fourth largest community college in New York State. ECC serves Erie County and the surrounding communities of Western New York. The college currently enrolls more than 11,000 students.

The college has three main campuses, located in Williamsville, Buffalo, and Orchard Park. ECC offers more than 60 nationally accredited associate degree and certificate programs, non-credit courses or training programs. ECC’s 60+ articulation agreements, dual degree and joint admissions arrangements ensure that students can continue their studies at four-year institutions to earn a bachelor's degree. The college is the most affordable in Western New York and provides a small-class environment where faculty can give students individual attention.

The ECC athletic teams (18 varsity sports) are called the "Kats". As a member of the National Junior College Association Region III Division and the Western New York Athletic Conference, ECC teams compete against two-year and four-year institutions throughout the Northeast. The Burt Flickinger Center is located downtown adjacent to the City Campus.

The college began as the New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences at Buffalo in 1946. A few years after it joined the State University system in 1948, it became Erie County Technical Institute in 1953. In 1960 the college moved to the North Campus (Williamsville) location. In 1968 the name was changed to the present designation. The City Campus (Buffalo) opened in 1971, and the South Campus (Orchard Park) opened in 1974.
