Message from the President
Welcome to Hudson County Community College’s 2026-2027 Academic Catalog. While this catalog contains a plethora of information, course descriptions, academic program requirements, policies, and resources, within these pages, you will also find the pathways through which our students transform their lives, strengthen their families, and contribute to the vibrancy of our county.
HCCC students coined our tagline, "Hudson Is Home!" because we believe every student can succeed when provided with high‑quality instruction, clear and flexible academic pathways, and a community that cares deeply about their well‑being. Our faculty and staff are committed to fostering an environment where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to reach their goals. Whether you are beginning college for the first time, returning to complete a credential, or seeking new skills to advance your career, you belong here, and we are all committed to your success.
As a Hispanic‑Serving Institution located in one of the most diverse counties in the nation, we take our responsibility to ensure equity in access, learning, and completion seriously. We continue to invest in and expand programs that meet workforce needs, strengthen career and transfer opportunities, and provide wraparound holistic support services that remove barriers to success.
Thank you for choosing Hudson County Community College. I look forward to us crossing paths during your time here and, even more importantly, celebrating with you when you complete the educational goals you have set for yourself.
Hudson Is Home!
Lisa Dougherty, Ed.D.
Interim President
