PC Description
With a high job-placement rate and above average scores on certification exams, graduates of Presentation College are a testament to the school’s quality programs.
A small, private Catholic college, Presentation also offers a tight-knit community and college life grounded in both religious and recreational activities.
Located in Aberdeen, South Dakota, with additional campuses throughout the state, Presentation College grants both bachelor’s and associate’s degrees in:
- Allied Health
- Arts and Sciences
- Business
- Education
- Social Work
Since enrollment is deliberately kept below 1,000, students get to work closely with one another as well as with their instructors.
Outside of class, there are also many opportunities to meet fellow students while also serving the religious mission of the Catholic faith. In addition to regularly held campus religious services, Presentation College offers chances to get involved in student fellowship and local charitable service. Presentation even sponsors mission trips abroad.
Presentation College notifies applicants within two weeks of submitting their application. Admissions requirements include a high school diploma or GED, a minimum grade point average of 2.0 and minimum scores on the SAT or ACT. Home-schooled and transfer students are also accepted.
Financial aid awards may consist of loans, grants, work-study and/or scholarships. The main criteria used for determining loan, grant and work-study eligibility are financial need and one’s status with the Department of Education.
A student’s academic performance is used for determining scholarship eligibility. Both partial and full tuition scholarships are awarded, depending on one’s grades and test scores.
