On
behalf of the faculty, staff and students at
Baton Rouge Community College I want to welcome
you to our SACS website. On June 28, 1995,
Baton Rouge Community College was established
as an open admission, two-year public comprehensive
community college. The college serves eight
parishes in the surrounding Baton Rouge area. The
college received candidacy status in 2002 and
full accreditation from the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools (SACS) in 2004. We
are excited about our upcoming reaffirmation
of our accreditation.
The
college continues to grow in enrollment and
staff. We have a great faculty and
they are dedicated to excellence in the classroom. Our
staff stay ready to support teaching and learning
at the college. We have expanded our program
and course offerings as a direct response to
business and workforce needs. Our lifelong
learning goals are dynamic and in response to
the community we serve. We have had an
outstanding dual enrollment program with the
East Baton Rouge Parish Schools, Zachary School
District, and Iberville Parish Schools.
As
we approach our tenth year anniversary, in
2008, we continue to reflect on goals, policies,
and procedures that lead to world class status. The
college has a communication model that promotes
inclusion of the stakeholders … at all
levels faculty, staff, and students. We
will continue to grow and improve instruction
and service for our service area.
