About CCBC

CCBC is a fully accredited community college located 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, PA, near the Ohio border. The main campus is located in Monaca, PA, and the Aviation Sciences Center is located at the Beaver Airport (BVI).

About 25% of our aviation students are from Beaver County. The other 75% of our aviation students are from the rest of the country! The majority are out-of-state residents. The reason for this diverse student population is simple: our graduates. CCBC aviation grads are employed nationwide by commercial and commuter airlines, as well as the FAA and private ATC facilities.
