What it means to be a community college

At Jamestown Community College, we take great pride in our communities and our role in fulfilling the education, enrichment, and economic needs in the region. We actively engage with Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties through our locations in Dunkirk, Jamestown, and Olean.

JCC partners with agencies across all sectors to offer accessible, in-demand learning experiences. We invite you to our campuses for gallery exhibitions, theater shows, music productions, and more.
