PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

“

“I was originally accepted at Rutgers but when my father and I reviewed the expenses for my college education, it just made sense to start out at CCM, which has a great academic reputation. It was the best decision I ever made.

The education I received at CCM was top quality, and I was able to graduate without any debt and transfer to earn my bachelor’s degree.”
