The President's Welcome

headshot of dr. ganther

On behalf of our Board of Trustees, faculty, and staff, welcome to Bucks County Community College–home of the Centurions!

We look forward to connecting with you as a student on one of our three physical campuses located in Newtown, Perkasie, and Bristol, or through our virtual campus, Bucks Online. Our staff and faculty are ready to help you reach your educational and career goals! Whether your plans include transferring credits to a university, receiving training to enter the workforce, learning new skills, or taking a self-enrichment course, we hope you will find your home here at Bucks alongside a family of educators ready to help you on your journey.

Our staff and faculty are ready to help you reach your education and career goals!

Bucks County Community College has proudly served the greater Bucks County area for more than 50 years, and we are ready to help you navigate your educational path. No matter where you are in the county, we have a campus nearby to serve you, support you, and to help you succeed. Your dreams are central to our mission, and I encourage you to virtually visit all of our campuses to find the location that fits your needs, and to stop by our campuses this fall to explore everything Bucks has to offer.

As a community college, the word “community” isn’t only in our name, it is central to all that we do. Bucks has been a proud premier partner in our local workforce community for decades by providing specialized training and occupational programs to support high demand jobs in our service area. We continue to strive towards excellence as we work to meet the needs of our local employers, while also helping those individuals who seek a higher living wage for themselves and their family.

Our goal is to ensure that everyone who enrolls in one of our programs will find success in their chosen field and see an increase in their living wage that will forever positively impact their family’s financial tree.

As we come out of COVID and try to find a “new normal” within our daily lives, I am confident that Bucks County Community College can help you start, reboot, or complete your educational journey. Our various academic and workforce offerings will be provided in numerous modalities to offer you the flexibility to learn the way that you want to. Whether you’d like to be totally online, on campus a small percentage of time, or physically in class with your instructor each day, Bucks offers you the opportunity to select courses that best fit your schedule and life.

In addition, we offer a wide range of free services to help with your mental and physical well-being. From student clubs and activities, to sports, tutoring and counseling. The staff and faculty are here to help make your experience at Bucks the best it can be.

Bucks County Community College is a great place to call your educational home! We can’t wait to serve and support you as you navigate your journey. As President, I look forward to seeing you on campus, interacting with you on our virtual platform, or in our wonderful community.

Be well until we meet!
