We understand the many thoughts that go through a person’s head when deciding to go to school. Will I spend a lot of time driving to class? Will I have to spend my evenings in class? How will I pay for this? We want to ease your mind and let you know that there are many options that can help you meet your career goals in a way that fits where you are in life.
Our classes are also offered at four convenient locations in Cambria, Blair and Centre counties, as well as online.
The fastest growing population in higher education is adult learners that work 10, 15, 20 or more hours during the week. We understand this and provide programs that have the convenience and flexibility adult learners need to be successful. To further ensure that our courses fit a student’s busy life, each student is assigned an advisor to work with on scheduling, career planning, etc. Classes are offered in many formats, including:
We value your prior college credits, experience, military training and work-place training. Our generous credit transfer policy maximizes your other college courses with up to 64 credits transferring into our BS in accounting and management degrees and up to 98 credits potentially transferring into our degree completion programs. The associate of applied science degrees transfer in at least 27 credits from the career and technology centers for both adult and high school programs.
For a free transfer credit evaluation, have your transcripts emailed, faxed or sent to one of our counselors who will gladly let you know how many credits could potentially transfer into the degree of your choice.
