Schenectady County Community College

What Schenectady County Community College does

Schenectady County Community College, doing business as SUNY Schenectady, is a public two-year community college founded in 1968/1969 and operating as part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system under the local sponsorship of Schenectady County. The college delivers associate degrees, certificates, and microcredentials across multiple schools: Business and Professional Programs, the Center for Aviation Sciences, the School of Hotel, Culinary Arts and Tourism, Liberal Arts, Math/Science/Technology/Health (including the Belanger School of Nursing), and the School of Music, with hands-on training assets such as the Casola Dining Room, Pane e Dolci bakery, aviation labs, and a brick-oven facility. K-12 dual-enrollment, online learning via Blackboard, and Workforce Development / Community Education extend the portfolio beyond credit-bearing degrees.

The core technology stack consists of Blackboard for the LMS, Microsoft SharePoint for the MySCCC student portal, and TeamDynamix for IT helpdesk and facilities work orders; no proprietary platform or AI capabilities are described. Revenue derives from four streams: SUNY-set tuition and fees, state and county appropriations through the SUNY system, non-credit Workforce Development and Community Education fees, and SUNY Schenectady Foundation donations and scholarships. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer admissions plus B2B workforce contracts via the Schenectady College and Career Outreach Center and a mobile training lab.

Operations span four campus locations (Main Campus, Center City, Kindl Building, and an Albany site) plus online delivery, serving first-time students, adult learners (25–55 without a degree via SUNY Reconnect), transfer students, international students, veterans, K-12 dual-enrolled students, and employer training clients. The college is led by President Dr. Steady Moono with an active Presidential Search underway, holds Middle States accreditation, and is governed by a Board of Trustees.
