School Overview:

School Notes:

• As Florida's newest community college, Pasco-Hernando Community College combines high tech educational facilities and state-of-the-art programs with an old-fashioned focus on teaching. With campuses located in tree-lined, intimate, rural settings, PHCC provides all the advantages of a private liberal arts education— personalized attention, highly credentialed faculty, an honors program for the academically gifted and small class sizes — all at an affordable public community college price. Our AA degree program gives students a solid foundation in the arts and sciences with a choice of major emphasis in teaching, business, engineering and the social and behavioral sciences. Our AA degree even comes with a guarantee: guaranteed admission into one of Florida's 11 public universities as a junior.
• PHCC also provides training for more than 30 high-demand careers in healthcare, law, business, and human services through its AS and certificate programs. Our technical programs are designed and taught by experts in their field using the latest equipment and technology. These fields include business, computer engineering, healthcare, human services and law. PHCC programs can be completed in two years or less. Ninety percent of all PHCC graduates end up working in their chosen professions.
• At PHCC, we offer educational opportunity for students of all ages and abilities. Our “Open Door” policy welcomes all high school graduates and GED recipients. PHCC also offers GED preparation classes to prepare students to test for the GED diploma. Because PHCC is a public-supported state institution, its fees are generally lower than many other colleges and universities. Approximately 60 percent of all PHCC students receive some form of financial assistance based on financial need and/or merit.
• PHCC offers day, evening, weekend and online classes for the convenience of working adults. We have four nearby locations to serve you in Brooksville, Dade City, New Port Richey and Spring Hill.
