Jefferson Community College
1220 Coffeen Street
Watertown, NY 13601

Jefferson Community College was chartered in 1961 and was initially accredited in 1969 by the Middle States Association. Teaching and learning are the focus of Jefferson Community College. Through educational excellence, innovative services and community partnerships, the New York college advances the quality of life for students and the community.

Jefferson Community College is supervised by the State University of New York (SUNY) and sponsored by Jefferson County. Its service area is largely rural, with agriculture and tourism the dominant industries. In 1985, the US Army posted the 10th Mountain Division at nearby Ft. Drum, bringing some 30,000 new residents to the area and doubling the population of the Watertown metropolitan area.

Technology plays an important role in supporting the educational process at this New York college. There are multiple instructional computer classrooms and an open computer resource center, which are all connected to a campus-wide network. Faculty and staff have access to the same campus-wide network from their offices for application and information sharing as well as electronic mail and Internet access. Members of the campus community also have access to aspects of the campus-wide network via wireless technology from many areas on campus. In addition, there are several computer clusters in areas such as geology, biology, physics, nursing and criminal justice. Several electronic classrooms provide access to on and off-campus resources for multimedia presentations.
