At Anne Arundel Community College (AACC), we believe you have the chance to redefine yourself at any age and at any point in your life. That’s why there’s something for everyone here!

When it comes to academics, our programs are innovative and award-winning. In fact, AACC has won numerous national, regional and state awards that put us on par with, or above, many four-year colleges. Our associate degrees and credit certificates prepare students for transfer to a four-year institution or to move into an immediate career.

Looking for a new or expanded career? If you’re seeking career training, working to boost basic skills or pursuing new areas of interest, AACC offers noncredit professional training to meet your needs.

Last, but certainly not least, AACC provides extensive lifelong learning opportunities for all ages. From fitness to local history to the coolest kid summer camps, we have courses that will expand your mind and fuel your soul.
