Campus and programs
Serving the central southern tier region of New York State, Corning Community College has its primary campus on Spencer Hill, high above Corning, encompassing 550 acres (2.2 km²) with a complex of eight beautiful buildings plus an Observatory and Planetarium. However, many students experience CCC off-campus at one of its many extension locations throughout Steuben, Chemung, and Schuyler counties. Professors pride themselves on devotion to teaching, personal advising of students and are willing to share freely of their time outside the classroom. A variety of laboratory settings combined with internships provide practical, hands-on learning experiences in the technologies, sciences and helping professions. The implementation of MyCCC, a Web-based student information system, allows students full access to records, online transactions and open communication with professors regardless of their preferred location of study. CCC students participate in competitive sports (including men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and golf), clubs, cultural activities, and many other special events. Graduates transfer successfully to colleges throughout the country where they are well prepared to meet new educational challenges. Other graduates go directly into the workforce securing positions in their fields of study. The college's president currently is Dr. Floyd "Bud" Amann. The college offers Associate of Sciences, Associate of Arts, Applied Associate of Science, Associate of Occupation Studies and a number of certificates as well.
