My overall opinion of Central Penn College is, I love this college. They are privately owned so they are not out to get you they want to help you they are not in for the money. Which I find very professional. Also I the professors have many of experience since all of them are from the field they are teaching. Showing you how the outside world is.
I just started my sophomore year at Central Penn College and I'm enjoying myself, experiencing and learning new things all the time. It didn't take long to get use to the college and meet lots of great people. I am majoring in Information Technology; my goal is to earn (2) Bachelor degrees; one degree in Computer Programming and the other in Network Security. I joined the men's soccer team in my freshman year and my coach Tom Birch is outstanding. My team mates are supportive; we have lots of spirit, and work together as a "TEAM." Central Penn's small class size makes it possible for everyone to participate in student clubs. I joined the "Colleges Against Cancer" club. We go to medical cancer centers and interact with people battling this horrendous disease, by talking to them, playing cards and board games. I found this to be extremely rewarding. Students find that getting involved helps to develop leadership skills it also looks great on your resume. With the various clubs Central Penn offers, students are sure to find something that will suit their interest. If you don't see the club you were hoping for? Interested students can form their own club though the Student Government Association's approval process. Undoubtedly, one of Central Penn College’s biggest strengths is our diverse student population. Central Penn College has facilitated multiple improvements in campus diversity and intercultural programming by the establishment the Cultural Diversity Center, directed by Romeo Azondekon. President Scolforo is committed to giving students a voice in important conversations circling the continued improvement of our campus community. Central Penn College is committed to a philosophy of community service that prepares graduates to be contributing members of society. That's why all students are required to fulfill a service assignment prior to graduation. More than just an obligation, community service is an opportunity to learn, grow and gain social skills vital to life. Central Penn College faculty members are more than just instructors. They're highly knowledgeable experts who bring relevant, real-world experience to each Central Penn classroom. So they can go beyond text books and theory, and fully prepare each student for the current workplace in the field of their choice. Their career-oriented approach and caring attitude is a combination few other colleges can offer. Instructors care about the personal and professional future of each student. They work with you on an individual basis to help you accomplish your academic goals. And they stand by you every step of your Central Penn experience. The small class sizes let them establish personal relationships with the students they teach. They are my friends, mentors, references and role models.
Central Penn is a very interesting College for people who like being on a small campus. I myself like the campus class size and different variety to clubs and activities on campus. I am very humble and thankful for all i have accomplish so far at this school and wait to accomplish more in the future.
Very nice school, small, and easy to make friends. The dorms are pretty nice but the food is not good. I am grateful for all the friends I've made and the professors/staff become like family, however there are not that many degree options. The school is also really diverse and everyone is active in all the clubs, activities, and sports!
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Central Penn College is 98%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.
As an adult student, I would tell myself to start college earlier. The real world is fond of college educated individuals and to have a job one can do in to their older age an education will be neccessary. Living on campus is not a neccessity; atttend a local college and commute back and forth. The college experience is not all about parties and living on your own, instead it is about self-discovery and the learning of new things. Apply youreself as a young adult and enjoy the benefits that come with it; do not wait until your older to start your education, keep stride with your peers.
I like this school sometimes, The only thing is my concern is th financial aid office they are very demanding about there money. and want it on time when people don have the money.
Central Pennsylvania College may be a small college yet it has a huge impact on students lifes when they graduate
My classes are comprised of older, working students who have a drive and determination to succeed in the field of study.
I wish that I would have known that minors were not offered at satellite campuses. I wanted to do a minor in healthcare administration, however the minor classes are not offered online and I attend mostly online courses, in order to work and help contribute to my family. It was disappointing, but perhaps down the road, they will make this apart of their online agenda. In the meantime I am thankful to have the opporuntity for an education.
I feel that anyone could attend Central Penn. They are very open to new students and the faculty is great! I absolutely loved the college, and I feel like it was the best choice for me. If someone is interested in the programs that they offer, I feel that they are a perfect candidate for Central Penn!
A few unique aspects of Central Penn College is it runs all year round so the classes are extremely excellerated. I started in October 2009 and I will finish Summer 2011 which includes my internship. Central Penn also has a dress code; students must wear business casual dress and medical students wear either scrubs or a polo shirt with kahki pants. The classes ara smaller as well which helps with getting help from the professors. It is easier to have a meeting or acquire extra help from the professors. I am happy with my decision about attending Central Penn College.
The flexibility and offering of on-line classes. It is local to where I live and have high standards and expectations of their students.
Every person should attend this college. except if the major they are interested in is not offered.
We are best known for our business like atmosphere. We revolve a lot around business. Every has to dress up, we are taught to follow things just like our jobs would be in the real world. We are adressed with real life experiences every day and are able to be involved with business experiences. We are best prepared for life in the job atmosphere compared to people in other colleges who can wear what they want and just skip classes all of the time. We are very prepared for the real world!
The most frustrating thing about my school is the bookstore. It has poor quality service. Textbooks are always sent at the last minute or late and when I call, no one ever answers the phone. No one ever replies to e-mails either.
When i brag to my friends about Central Penn I tell them about how I graduate in 18 months instead of their full two year program for their associates degree.
