Cape Cod Community College, known locally as "4-C's" or "The Harvard of the Middle Cape", is a two-year community college located in West Barnstable, Massachusetts. Cape Cod Community College was established in 1961, the second institution to open as part of what is now a 15 community college system in Massachusetts. It awards Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees and various academic certificates in a wide variety of programs. The college offers access to on-campus Bachelor's and Master's Degree programs in partnership with: Bridgewater State College, Boston University, Lesley University, Salem State College, Suffolk University, UMass Boston, UMass Dartmouth, and Wheelock College.

The college recently opened the Lyndon P. Lorusso Applied Technology Building, a state-of-the-art GOLD LEED certified facility completed in Summer 2006.
