Harford Community College is a strong, diverse and growing institution. In the past five years, enrollment in credit courses has increased approximately 20 percent, as students have heeded our advice to “Consider Harford First” when deciding where to attend college. The College offers more than 70 degree and certificate programs and provides a wide array of student support services such as tutoring, academic and career advising, financial aid and disability services. When transferring to regional colleges and universities, students will find it easier than in past years because of improved transfer agreements with many of these institutions.

The College is being guided by two important documents: our Strategic Plan and a Campus Master Plan, both of which help us determine our future goals. In 2009, we completed a major renovation of our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) building, Aberdeen Hall, and future projects include renovation of our Physical Education building, Susquehanna Hall, which will include the addition of a 3,300 seat arena gymnasium. After Susquehanna Hall is completed, we hope to begin plans for a new Allied Health and Nursing building to support our growing health and nursing programs. In addition, we are very excited about construction of a building for Towson University on our campus so students transferring to Towson will no longer have to commute out of the county; they will simply walk across Thomas Run Road near Joppa Hall.

One of the College’s many accomplishments includes the steps we have taken to protect the environment and become one of the greenest campuses in Maryland. Recently, we were named by the KIWI Green College Report as one of 50 institutions nationwide that is making a significant contribution to the environment. There are numerous examples of steps we have taken to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability which include installation of solar hot water panels, bio-retention ponds, and rain water collection tanks. We also operate a hybrid car for our campus security office and hope to install photo-voltaic cells to generate electricity directly from the sun.

The Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC) will bring thousands of new people to Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) and Harford County, and the College will continue to grow as a result. We are in the process of modifying existing programs and developing new ones to prepare students for the many jobs that will be available at APG.

The future is very bright for Harford Community College, and we are pleased to welcome you to our wonderful institution.

Sincerely,

James F. LaCalle, Ed.D. President vi INSTITUTIONAL PROFILEGeneral Information
