2004-2005 COLLEGE CATALOG - Luzerne County Community ...

HAZLETON CENTER
In cooperation with the Alliance to Revitalize Center City Hazleton, Luzerne
County Community College began operating a branch extension center in
Hazleton, PA during the Fall, 2000 Semester. Through a grant from the Luzerne
County Office of Community Development, students in the region can take LCCC
courses close to home at an affordable tuition rate.
The goal of the center, which is located at 100 Broad Street, is to offer day and
evening credit courses leading to degrees in a variety of programs. In addition,
career-oriented educational courses and workshops are available to residents in
southern Luzerne County and the surrounding area. These noncredit programs are
designed to train people for employment in the region. The facility features seven
classrooms and two computer labs along with conference space and a multi-purpose
room.
KULPMONT CENTER
The Kulpmont Center was established through a partnership with Luzerne
County Community College and the Northumberland County Housing Authority.
The goal of the Center is to provide a state-of-the-art nursing education facility for
the region. Applications are accepted every other year for the A.A.S. Nursing Degree
Program. General Education courses required for the Nursing Program can be
taken year round at the nearby Northumberland Regional Higher Education Center
located in Shamokin.
NORTHUMBERLAND REGIONAL
HIGHER EDUCATIONAL CENTER
The Northumberland County Commissioners and officials from Luzerne County
Community College announced in March, 1999, that the College would be operating
a branch extension center in Shamokin, PA. Because of Northumberland
County’s sponsorship of the venture, students throughout the region can take LCCC
courses at the in-county tuition rate.
The goal of the center is to offer career-oriented educational courses and lifelong
learning opportunities to residents of Northumberland and surrounding counties.
The nine-classroom facility is used for credit and non-credit courses. The State
System of Higher Education also offers academic programs at the Center.
