Because Burlington County is the largest county in New Jersey, and in order to provide accessibility to all individuals living throughout the county, BCC has two main campuses and a number of centers located throughout the county.  In 2007, the college enrolled approximately 8,000 students, with more than half of those students enrolled as full-time students.  Moreover, in 2007, over a quarter of all Burlington County High School graduates went on to attend Burlington County College in the fall semester.

BONNER PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

BCC is proud to be a new Bonner Leader school that began the program during the spring semester of 2009.  Our Bonner Leader program consists of approximately ten BCC students, all of whom are committed to social justice and having a positive influence on economically disadvantaged populations residing in Burlington County.  We have partnered with numerous community partner sites that help to serve economically disadvantaged children, children and adolescents who have experienced neglect or abuse, the elderly, shelter animals, and environmental needs via educational programs.  We are actively looking to expand our program, and we hope to have doubled our membership enrollment in the fall.
