I think one should be aware of whatQuite BrightArt & Design Department
I think one should be aware of what one is getting into before attenting PCC. I speak as a graduate and former employee of the college (post-graduation). The college rules are very strict and the administration runs the school with a heavy hand. Students, in my opinion, are presumed guilty should they get themselves into any trouble. To err is human...to forgive is unheard of. The closed-mindedness of the administration and faculty ensures that students only hear a single viewpoint rather than a wider spectrum of ideas and opinions. If one comes from a sheltered world and wants to continue within a sheltered world, then PCC is the place for you. The college is unaccredited, based on my research, mainly because the faculty is hired mostly from it's own graduates, so there is much intellectual inbreeding (not because being accredited would force them to have to teach evolution, or some such nonsensical reason they would have you believe).

Question
PCC had (and I think still does) anNursing
PCC had (and I think still does) an awesome nursing degree program. I am shown almost every day that I had a much better education than most of the new grads I encounter. Also, working with students out of other programs (some from a big-10 school), I am reminded that my education was stellar and I have always been prepared for every job that I have attempted.

Question
I enjoyed the plea by PCC (via email; notice the increaseBrightCriminal
I enjoyed the plea by PCC (via email; notice the increase of comments on 3/23) to create the facade that PCC actually is what they present themselves to be. As this is an "Opinion" I present my view as such, but I believe it causes some food for thought when spiritually considering PCC.

As a CJ student we were presented many criminal aspects of our world; including money laundering. Now, why bring up that subject? Simple it answers many of the difficulties that other prior students have had.

Opinion: [Few things are gaurenteed in life two are death, and federal taxes. The more money you make the more taxes you pay, unless you donate a portion of it, or all of it to a non profit organization. So lets say you have a very productive bussiness, (for arguements sake a book company) you would be taxed on all of your income, but inorder to bypass taxes you donate that money (ie a NON-ACCREDITED, "Church Run"college) you are no longer responsible for the taxes. Now how does this benifit you, simple be on the payroll for the nonprofit organization.]

This theory explains why the school rejects Accredidation, and why they are so anxious to kick students out. It's all about the money. You are required to pay 75% of your tuition no matter how long your stay is. There is a focus on kicking students out around the time of finals because then there is another semester that you have to repeat, and they get paid for.

Are all of the accusations true about floorleaders, the deans, and the rules . . . Yes. No matter how extreme the accusation chances are Very good that they are true. The school spends most of it's time focused on apearing like paradise and not on reading the Negatives on this web page and makig adjustments. Instead of taking in the problems of the school they send an email encouraing us to over power the negative with our own positive "PCC" version of our school experience.

Needless to say I do not recommend the school at the present time. One by one the "Founding" faculty members are leaving or already left the school (including the Pastor, who had been trying to leave the school for many years before), perhaps once a new regim takes hold the school may be worth going to. Or they can just promote the current brown nosers into more powerful positions in which case I wouldn't recommend even visiting Pensacola.

Remember that every light has a shadow, the brighter the light the bigger the shadow.Quick shout out to a few of those who endured the years there with me : Coca-Pants , Wacker, Oppie, and Ta ta head.
