Why PCC?
• PCC offers a great opportunity for you and your wallet! Students can complete general education or program specific classes for a fraction of the cost of a four-year institution. Financial Aid, scholarships, and a payment plan program are also available.
• Class sizes at PCC are smaller than most four-year institutions, thus offering more occasions to interact with instructors and other students. One-on-one tutoring is also available through the Academic Success Center on each campus.
• PCC offers hands-on learning in many programs of study, including Phlebotomy and other health care programs, Welding, Film & Video Production Technology, Digital Effects & Animation Technology, Cosmetology, Fine Arts, Electrical Power Production Technology, and Mechatronics to name a few!
• Students can explore different course options to find what interests them most before finalizing a program of study.
• Many PCC programs lead graduates directly to a job. Enjoy working with your hands? Consider Electrical Systems Technology where the average annual starting salaries are in the $35,000 – $45,000 range!
