“To HACC and Beyond….on your way to a bachelor’s degree!”

HACC is hosting a special information night on April 11 called “To HACC and Beyond….on your way to a bachelor’s degree!” This program has been designed specifically for high school students who are looking for a less expensive option toward earning a bachelor’s degree.
 
As you know, starting at HACC and then transferring to a 4-year college/university has many benefits to the student.  Plus, HACC has Dual Admissions agreements with several colleges/universities…..this event is focused on students who start at HACC, enroll in a Dual Admissions Agreement, achieve their Associate’s degree from HACC, then make a seamless transfer to the 4-year school to complete their last 2 years.
 
Transfer representatives from many of our partner schools will be in attendance that evening, giving students and their parents an opportunity to hear about the benefits this agreement can provide.  These colleges/universities include:
  •  Albright College
  •  Eastern University
  •  Elizabethtown College
  •  Lebanon Valley College
  •  Millersville University
  •  Penn State University – Hbg.
  •  Susquehanna University
  •  Shippensburg University
This event is ideal for all juniors as well as any seniors who are still undecided or worried about the rising costs of college.
