Good reviews
Overall 4.7
You really have to be tired of the old way of college being too long in the 15 week classes and a lack of resources to appreciate this school. I came from CCP and the difference in support is huge as in many staff members at Peirce College are like family.
Overall 4.5
Peirce college runs in the family as my mother has 2 degrees from there along with my father earning his first and working towards his second degree. I am working on my bachelors degree from there and they are so supportive. I went through a program called Year Up Greater Philadelphia there and earned a co-op with J.P. Morgan Chase. I love PEIRCE!
