President’s Message
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Congratulations on choosing Pensacola State College! With a wide variety of programs, a dedicated faculty and staff, and affordable tuition, we are committed to preparing you for university transfer or providing training that can put you on the path to a rewarding career in a large number of technical fields.
Meeting industry needs with training and education for in-demand jobs is an important part of our mission. For example, students can complete PSC’s state-of-the-art welding program in just three semesters and be prepared for a career with many possibilities along the Gulf Coast. In another response to workforce needs, we have expanded our outstanding cybersecurity associate degree program into an affordable bachelor’s degree program and opened the door even more for high-wage jobs for our graduates.
We are committed to helping our students not only to attend college but also to graduate. In fact, Pensacola State is consistently listed in the Top 100 Associate Degree Producers in the nation. This ranking affirms that PSC is among the best at providing the programs, faculty, facilities, counseling, and financial aid needed for students to earn their degrees. Our associate degree students transferring to a university do as well or better in grade attainment than the native University student.
In the coming year, we hope you will explore the many avenues to become involved outside the classroom while you are here. We have more than 40 student organizations with plenty of opportunities for leadership, community service and lifelong friendships. Broaden your horizons! Our acclaimed Switzer Visual Arts Gallery and Lyceum Series bring in top artists, musicians, and performers from across the nation, and our student athletic programs are exciting to watch – and these events are free for students!
Education has the power to enrich and transform lives. We are delighted that you have chosen Pensacola State College as the place to pursue your professional and personal goals.
Sincerely,
Edward Meadows
President
