. . . At Half the Price

At County College of Morris (CCM), we provide students with the same high-quality education as the “elite” schools – at half the price. Generations of real-life success stories can trace their beginnings back to CCM. The same imagination and innovation that drive the quest to succeed at traditionally top-tiered schools can also be found here. But you’ll have to go elsewhere if you want to find the same high prices.
