Rogue Community College

Rogue Community College (RCC) is a 2-year, community college with campuses in both Jackson County and Josephine County, falling roughly in the geographic region known as the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon. RCC is fully accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council on Post-secondary Accreditation and by the U.S. Department of Education. Accreditation was reaffirmed in 2002. Courses and programs are approved by the Oregon Department of Education. Professional associations have accredited those professional-technical programs which require approval. RCC is approved as a veterans training institution by the Veterans Administration. The college is a member of the American Association of Community Colleges, the Association of Community College Trustees, and the Oregon Community College Association. RCC was established in November 1970 by vote of the electorate of Josephine County. On May 21, 1996, voters in Jackson and Josephine counties approved expansion of Rogue's boundaries to include all of Jackson County, for the purpose of providing a wider range of educational programs, job-training opportunities, and greater college access for students throughout the Rogue Valley.
