WARREN, Pa. (EYT) – Northern Pennsylvania Regional College is hosting a virtual Information Session on Tuesday, October 24.

The virtual information session will take place from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. for anyone who may be thinking about applying to NPRC in 2024.

Those interested in attending are encouraged to sign up on NPRC’s website at NPRCEvents.org.

Attendees will learn about the College’s history and mission, and receive information and resources regarding tuition rates and how to pay for college, along with more details about NPRC’s offerings.

NPRC is a two-year, open-admission college that offers associate degrees and workforce development training courses that guide students to prosperous careers and foster economic growth throughout the region. Associate degrees available include business administration, criminal justice, early childhood education, liberal studies, and social sciences. Workforce development programs include, but are not limited to, commercial driver’s license (CDL), emergency medical services (EMS), child development associate (CDA), industrial maintenance basics, and supervision and leadership. Several of these programs are eligible for financial assistance through the local CareerLink®.

More than anything, NPRC creates opportunities for those who may have never had the chance to sit in a college classroom before by only requiring a high school diploma or equivalent to apply. NPRC educates, inspires, and serves the region in a way that is unique to its needs. We are more than a college; we are a second chance, a necessity, and an opportunity where learning and growth never stops.

“NPRC can be someone’s second chance at college, the step for a better life for themselves and their family, or a way to reinvent their career,” says NPRC’s Assistant Director of Community Engagement, Kelsey Angove. “The College has something to offer almost anyone. If you’re interested in earning a college degree, learning a trade, taking a community enrichment class, or are just curious about NPRC, this is the perfect opportunity to learn all about us. We are excited to welcome everyone!”

Info session dates for 2024 will be released in the coming months.
