President’s Welcome
Greetings, and welcome to Butler County Community College.
I am honored to be writing to you as President of this fine institution; a college
dedicated over the past 52
years to excellence in academics, workforce
development, training, cultural events and making the community a better
place.
The time is now for a community college education. Students select BC3 for
our quality, affordability and accessibility. In addition, BC3 was named
Pennsylvania’s top community college by Schoo
ls.com. BC3 earned Military
Friendly School status by Victory Media for the fourth consecutive year. In
addition, we rank #13 in Pennsylvania for Distance Education by
OnlineColleges.com.
It is our phenomenal faculty members who deliver the curriculum that prepare
our students for careers and/or transfer to senior institutions. Our faculty has
been recognized for its excellence in teaching, scholarship and service. At BC3
you are taught by experts, not graduate teaching assistants. Our full- and part-
time faculty blends real-life experience with proper educational credentials in a
warm traditional or on-line classroom environment (with a student to professor
ratio of roughly 18-1).
I invite you to use resources such as this handbook or our College website to
familiarize yourself with BC3. Never, ever hesitate to ask questions to anyone
on campus. You will quickly discover that BC3’s staff is dedicated to making
this institution excel. I also encourage you to take advantage of the many
opportunities that are provided at the College and to participate in the activities
of your choice. Whether it is student organizations, athletic teams or attending
cultural events, countless extra-curricular choices exist.
I wish you much success and happiness as a student of Butler County
Community College!
Sincerely,
Dr. Nicholas C. Neupauer
President
