Pensacola Junior College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Pensacola Junior College (usually shortened to PJC) is a community college in Pensacola, Florida. The college's slogan is "You can get there from here." The current President is Dr. Charles E. Meadows.

The main campus, located in Pensacola was opened in 1948 and was the first institute of higher learning in Pensacola. PJC quickly expanded to include a downtown campus in 1957, a Milton campus in 1971, and a Warrington campus in 1977. A mini-campus opened on Naval Air Station Pensacola in 1981.

PJC offers more than 100 majors and areas of concentration, along with the latest high-tech resources and exciting opportunities. Harvard professors held a three-day workshop at the Mary Ekdahl Smart Center for Patient Simulation Training & Research on the Warrington campus. This was the first time Harvard held such a seminar at a community college.

The College offers associates degrees as well as vocational certifications and an adult high school. In the 2007/2008 academic year over 34,000 students enrolled of which about 11,000 are seeking Associate degrees. As with all Florida Community Colleges, PJC's associate in arts degrees guarantee acceptance to a State University System of Florida institution. It works closely together with University of West Florida and has a joint campus with the University of Florida in Milton. Job placement is 100 percent in most technical areas for PJC students earning certificates, A.S. and A.A.S. degrees.

PJC operates WSRE, the main PBS station in Pensacola.

Question: If I attend a junior college for 2 yrs when I go to transfer to a 4 yrs am I now a resident of that state?

I plan to attend Pensacola Junior College to get my A.A in Zoo Science and then transfer to Western Florida Univ. but when I transfer will I be looking at the In-state or Out-of-state tuition? I will have an apartment because PJC does not offer housing to students and when I transfer I plan to keep living there. I just want to know so I can plan ahead because we are talking almost $3000 to almost $15000

Different schools will have different standards on establishing residency. I believe you can probably get the in-state tuition, so long as you establish residency to the standards of that school. Check out their website, or email an admissions officer for more info on that.

Question: Anybody been to Pensacola Junior College?

Trying to find out if the Graphic Design program is offered at one campus or all of them. I've tried to email them and they don't respond, and I've read every word on the website and can't find this information.

I went to UWF, but I don't think it's a good sign that they are not returning your emails. Have you tried calling or making a visit to the campus? You should be able to speak witha counselor if you make a visit. And its close to Steak N Shake, so its worth the trip. Lol. I do know that PJC has a lot of good programs for a JC though. Good luck.

I didn't work when I attended college there and neither did the 10 or so friends that I hung out with my boyfriend worked full-time and attended classes full-time too. I had the best time going to school there.
