About
Wor-Wic Community College, located in Salisbury, Maryland, was founded in 1975 and was originally known as the “college without walls”, before obtaining a permanent campus in 1995. The name of the school is based on the two counties it serves, specifically those of Worcester and Wicomico.
WWCC is in close proximity to Salisbury University. Accessibility and low cost make it ideal for education prior to transfer to that institution. Recent budgetary concerns have forced the school to cease adult education programs that eventually result in students earning a GED.
