In 1947, Baltimore City Community College originated when Baltimore Junior College was established as a two-year school to provide higher education for returning veterans of World War II. The College reformed to become the Community College of Baltimore in 1968. As the New Community College of Baltimore, it became a State institution of higher education in 1990 (Chapter 220, Acts of 1990). The school received its present name in 1992 (Chapter 208, Acts of 1992; Code Education Article, secs. 16-501 through 16-512).

PRESIDENT
Appointed by the Board of Trustees, the President of the College is responsible and accountable to the Board of Trustees for the discipline and successful conduct of the College and supervision of each of its departments (Code Education Article, sec. 16-506).
The Academic Affairs Division originated as Academic Affiars, was renamed the Learning Division in 2003, and reformed as the Academic Affairs Division in 2005.
The Academic Support and Learning Resources Division formed in 2008.
The Business and Continuing Education Division offers adult basic education and General Education Development (GED), English as a Second Language, and alternative high school diploma programs. Courses (frequently shorter in length than credit offerings) provide adult learners with flexible class arrangements, and require fewer prerequisites. The Division also works with businesses, government agencies, and other institutions to provide training, apprenticeships, workforce development services, and other customized programs.
The Institutional Advancement, Marketing and Research Division began as the Institutional Advancement Branch. Renamed Communications and Research Division in 2008, it reformed under its present name in 2009.
The Student Affairs Division oversees Enrollment Management and Student Development.
