Rockland Community College is a public two-year institution in Suffern, New York, offering associate degree and certificate programs in liberal arts and sciences. The college serves the Hudson Valley region with a focus on accessible higher education and transfer pathways to four-year institutions.

Total cost of attendance is $5,664 annually for both in-state and out-of-state students, making this one of the most affordable entry points to higher education in the region. The college enrolls approximately 5,763 students, representing a mix of recent high school graduates and working adults pursuing credentials or completing their first two years before transferring.

As a community college, Rockland is structured to help students earn an associate degree, complete general education requirements, or develop job-ready skills before moving to a four-year university. This model works best for students seeking a lower-cost start to a bachelor's degree, those testing their academic readiness before committing to a four-year program, or adults balancing work and education.
