Students can earn several certificates and associate’s degrees at BC3. It has been ranked as the number-one community college in Pennsylvania multiple times due to its variety of academic opportunities and affordability. Students can easily transfer their credits from BC3 over to many four-year universities, making it a very good transfer school.

The BC3 nursing program is held in very high regard. This program gives students the opportunity to earn associate’s degrees in nursing. The coursework is designed to be completed in two years and nursing students will learn how to provide individual care as well as how to function as a part of a healthcare team.
