I do distance learning with PCC because I can find classes to complete an associate's degree completely online. Some professors are better than others; some are unreasonable, others way too laid back; some are inspiring and love their job, while others are coasting. Overall, I love PCC and have been pleasantly surprised that it's not 100% SJWs.

Not a good school. Transportation is awful. Full time Faculty needed to be screened more before they became full time. They can't fire full time faculty. Best programs for jobs are the worst taught programs. Not ready for coronavirus because they have too much travel between campuses this leads to real safety concerns. More concerned with numbers.

Digital culture students: PCC is excellent for vocational careers but not for media degrees. For video production or multimedia students, opportunities to learn industry-standard software are limited. There is no lab time for any MM classes, leaving students without tutoring support. I can't recommend PCC for multimedia degree seekers.

The apprenticeship at the swan island campus is a joke. The school consulers treat you as if this is high school an they have all the power to make your life difficult. The professor for apprenticeship program are just regular working people. Some of them have no business teaching at all. So disorganized they have no clue about their own rules.
