Quick Facts

At County College of Morris (CCM), we provide students with the same high-quality education

as the “elite” schools – at half the price.

Generations of real-life success stories can trace their beginnings back to CCM.

The same imagination and innovation that drive the quest to succeed at traditionally top-tiered schools can also be found here.

But you’ll have to go elsewhere if you want to find the same high prices.

“I am so grateful I came to CCM, that I got into Penn and that I will be graduating with my bachelor’s degree with no student loans.”

Charlotte Rodgers, A.S. Science and Mathematics, Class of 2015

. . . At Half the Price

“It was the positive feedback I received that encouraged me to do better. The only reason I got into NYU was because I did well at CCM. Had I tried to apply there on my high school record, I never would have been accepted.”
