I feel like most of the time the professors can be pretty easy to get in contact with. But I have also had professors who do not respond to emails for 1-2 weeks and when the question is about an assignment and they do not reply it can make for a pretty stressful week.

CCAC is a good value for students wishing to earn an Associates with intent to transfer it to a state university. They offer flexible tracks with weekend, evening, and online classes - in fact, I am earning my entire degree through them online (praise be Blackboard). For a value school, they utilize technology well to support your educational experience. Furthermore, thanks to PA's TRAC articulation system, most state schools accept credits from this institution.

Jennifer - 10/22/2019

I have learned so much. There is more than enough space to sit down and study or socialize. Students and faculty are the nicest people I have met! I Highly recommend going here if you are unsure of what you are going to do. The staff has really opened my eyes to what i would like to do in my future.
