The main campus occupies 33 acres in downtown Bremerton, with additional satellite locations in Poulsbo and Shelton serving the Olympic Peninsula region. Established in 1946, the college operates as an open-admission institution offering associate degrees, professional-technical programs, and select bachelor's degrees through partnerships with regional universities. The college maintains strong academic programs in nursing, engineering, and technical trades, with particular emphasis on maritime-related industries due to its proximity to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
