Sussex County Community College

Sussex County Community College, located in Newton, New Jersey, serves the northwestern region of the state from its main campus situated on 167 acres of former farmland in the New Jersey Highlands. The two-year public institution, established in 1981, operates from a mix of modern academic buildings and renovated historic structures, including the original 1940s dairy barn that now houses administrative offices. The college provides open enrollment access to associate degrees and professional certificates, with notable programs in business administration, criminal justice, and liberal arts. Students primarily commute to campus, though the college maintains active student life facilities including a student center and athletic fields, where the Skylanders compete in NJCAA Division II athletics in men's baseball and women's softball.
