Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Let me state the obvious, DCCC is a community college. While this may appeal to non-traditional students, those looking to save money prior to transferring to a four year university, people wanting to obtain nothing further than an associates degree, or those attempting the odd course here & there for personal enrichment, students seeking the “typical college experience” should be prepared for a let down. But getting back to those who aren’t expecting that “typical college experience”, DCCC offers a convenient campus location with hours that appeal to both day and evening students. I work full time and never had an issue with scheduling or contacting staff & the financial aid office. Additionally, you can not beat the prices. At the 4 year college I eventually transferred to, one semester is costing me more than an entire year at DCCC. Let me stress the cost savings…this is the main reason I attended DCCC for 2 years prior to transferring out. Private school is significantly more expensive, and 2-less years there equals significantly cheaper student loans. I will say that the students in my evening classes tended to be older as the majority of people enrolled in night courses are working adults. But this proved fortunate as the younger students seemed content with pulling nothing higher than C’s….the lowest grade one can get to transfer out to a 4 year college. I’ve found that teachers employed at night were more likely to have day jobs and were thus less likely to be available as compared to those employed full time by DCCC. But the teachers are competent and make themselves readily accessible - albeit it may not fit your schedule. Course work was challenging enough. I felt as if I got my monies worth and am confident that I left that school with more knowledge than I had at my initial enrollment. But with that being said, I still feel as one should expect a heavier course load at typical colleges. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Social Life: C Have a Question?

The main campus and its extra facilities are in excellent condition, and assuming that the state / creditors do not set your curriculum, you can choose your own careers path -- either via degree or certification -- with a scorecard that will be recognized in most of Pennsylvania and other states.

Not much chance for career advancement and managerial degrees do not really help. Our managers in this field are an endangered species. Overall, DCCC was a great experience for my career choice. My teachers, at the time, were tough and relentless. It helped me build character and promoted self-esteem. But thats what it takes to survive out in the real world. This field is not for the faint of heart since you deal with very gruesome and sad outcomes. If your are lazy and not mentally/physically/spiritually up to the task, this job is not for you.
