Warren County Community College (WCCC) is an accredited, coeducational, two-year, public community college located in Warren County, New Jersey. Its primary campus is in Washington Borough.

Warren County Community College was established in July 1981 by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education and the Warren County Board of Chosen Freeholders. In its earliest years, WCCC operated as a “College without Walls” and held classes in local high schools. In 1987, the New Jersey State Board of Higher Education provided WCCC with degree-granting authority and a temporary facility was leased. In 1988, WCCC graduated its first class.

In 1992, WCCC was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In January 1996, the College moved into its current building on Route 57 in Washington township. In 1997, a four-classroom addition was completed. A new addition is currently being planned and is slated to begin in the fall of 2007. The College was awarded a ten-year re-accreditation in 1998.

Warren County Community College currently offers degree programs and certificate programs. The College serves approximately 1,700 full-time and part-time students, in addition to students in non-credit programs and courses.

The most popular majors at WCCC are Liberal Arts, Criminal Justice, Cutlery Studies, Elementary and Secondary Education and Business.
