I attended PCC and graduted in 1995.BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I attended PCC and graduted in 1995. While the school is not accredited and I did have some difficulty in getting into a Graduate Program, I am set to finish my degree in Instructional Technology in December of 2007. There are fine schools out there that will take PCC credits. My education was excellent and outside educators have commented to me on what a superb education a student receives at PCC. I had many professors who had many "real world" experiences such as Mr. Schmuck, Dr. Wasser and Dr. Cummings.

As far as the rules and legalism, they exist oustide of PCC as they exist inside the institution. We are humans who have all fallen short of God's glory and I think our expectation that PCC or any institution lives in a state of perfection is wishful thinking.

I have heard and read many say that PCC is not living in the real world - on this they are 100% correct. PCC is not the real world, it is much better despite its faults. The real world is brutal, cruel, unfair and bitter. PCC attempts to encourage students to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This single goal is the greatest educational goal that any student could achieve.

Last and certainly not least, I am very appreciative of PCC and the Lord's use of PCC in my life. I was from PA and I met my wife (IL) at PCC and my life has been forever blessed by this fact. We have a wonderful marriage and 2 amazing kids.I am and forever will be eternally grateful for PCC and while not for everyone, PCC is an excellent school and can be greatly used by God in the life of every student.

I am currently employed as a police officer.Quite BrightCriminal
I am currently employed as a police officer. As a regular course of my daily duties I come into contact with citizens that have chosen not to follow the many rules of society (commonly known as laws.) These people are often viewed as "suspects" or "perpetrators." Students that choose to go to PCC are also obligated to abide by a set of rules (known as the Student Handbook.) When they choose not to follow these rules consequences follow. Typically these consequences only result in demerits (a point system that leads to further disciplinary action if necessary.) Yes, PCC has rules that other colleges or universities don't have. If you are going to college to experience the party life, get drunk or sleep around then don't choose PCC. If you're going to college to further your education, meet lifelong friends and to grow in your spiritual life then PCC is the place for you! PCC never has and never will claim to be the best choice for any student. However, they do claim to be a safe place for a Christian young person to focus on their education and avoid the many temptations and pitfalls that are so common on other college campuses. Many students have chosen to attend PCC and then chosen to violate the rules that are in place. When they are punished, they blame the rules instead of blaming themselves for violating them. Don't let these "suspects" and "perpetrators" cloud your perspective about PCC!
