Campus

The college was founded in 1964 and offered classes from its campus in Conshohocken. In 1972, the school relocated and its Central Campus opened in nearby Blue Bell (Whitpain Township) where it remains today. There is also a West Campus in Pottstown which opened in 1996. Off-site locations include Lansdale and Willow Grove Naval Air Station in Horsham.

The Pottstown campus includes the North Hall, a 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) facility with classrooms, a computer lab and an art gallery. The building was formerly a knitting mill, brewery, and shoe polish factory until its renovation in 2006. It is connected to the South Hall by an underpass that had been filled in since the early 1920s.[2]

While primarily serving the residents of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, the institution is also attended by residents of neighboring Philadelphia County and Bucks County as well as foreign exchange students. It has agreements with Temple University, Pennsylvania State University, Arcadia University, and other local institutions to facilitate the transfer of credits earned.
