SUNY Broome Community College, or SUNY Broome, is a SUNY two-year college in Broome County, New York. The college was founded in 1946 and went through several name changes. The school is located in the Town of Dickinson, just north of the City of Binghamton, New York. The college had a 2010 enrollment of over 6,000 students and has alumni of over 41,000.
BCC serves students from a single campus on Upper Front Street in Dickinson, New York, though some classes are taught in Waverly, Owego and within the city of Binghamton at smaller classroom centers. The campus' 15 buildings comprise 610,000 square feet (57,000 m2) of space, and feature recently upgraded athletic facilities such as baseball fields, soccer and lacrosse field, publicly accessible tennis courts, the Dick Baldwin Gym, named after the third winningest college basketball coach across both two and four year colleges, and a new ice rink. There is also a theater which hosts campus performances of plays and other theatrical work, entitled The Little Theater.
It offers a variety of classes to all students that plan on finishing their 2-year degree at SUNY Broome or hope to transfer to a 4-year school. Many students transfer to nearby Binghamton University after their first 2 years.
