I love going to Peirce College because it fits with my work schedule and they have on line and that's what I've been doing since I enrolled in 2014 working on my Associates Degree now that I have finished that. I'm working on my Bachelor' now. Pierce has opened doors for me with my current job, I received a raise and a new title.

Peirce College is a great place to find yourself in life. I never been at a school where everyone actually cares about you and your personal life. The best thing is the PeirceFIT program, this program allows students to either attend class online or on campus at your convenience each week. This helped me a lot because I have children and a full time job and with PeirceFIT I'm able to balance my personal life with school. I love this school.
