Join a Community That Supports and Celebrates You

Think of Clinton as your home base, where professors know more than just your seat number and advisors remember your big goals (and maybe your favorite spot to hang out in Plattsburgh). Our small classes make it easy to speak up, ask questions, and get the kind of personal guidance that actually moves you forward. From registering for your first semester courses to landing that perfect internship, we’re here for every step — high-fives included.

One Campus, Two Colleges

Our new location on the campus of SUNY Plattsburgh is the ideal setting for your college experience. You will feel very much a part of the close-knit community that CCC has created, enjoying our friendly and helpful atmosphere. You’ll also have access to everything that a larger 4-year university has to offer, such as the Learning Center, Feinberg Library, and Center for Student Involvement. This arrangement is the perfect combination that allows you to start off in a safe, smaller environment while gradually acclimating to the great big world we’re opening up for you.
