Welcome to Pierpont Community & Technical College! At Pierpont, we believe in the
power of a close-knit community, hands-on learning, and education that works. Whether
you’re just beginning your journey, returning to college, or seeking new skills to
grow your career, Pierpont is here to help you go far.
We offer small class sizes, personalized support, and programs designed to meet the
needs of today’s workforce. Our faculty and staff are committed to doing what’s best
for our students and the professions they’re preparing to enter. That commitment drives
everything we do, from expanding nursing and health sciences to launching virtual
reality labs and building strong partnerships with employers and other colleges.
Pierpont provides affordable, flexible pathways to high-demand careers in fields like
Aviation Maintenance, Culinary Arts, Welding, and Health Sciences. We also offer dual
enrollment for high school students, Learn & Earn apprenticeships, and transfer opportunities
to four-year institutions.
Pierpont is more than a college. We’re a community. We rally together in times of
need, celebrate each other’s successes, and work every day to create opportunities
for learners of all ages. Whether you’re looking to upskill, reskill, or explore what’s
next, Pierpont is a place where you can grow, belong, and find your path.
Onward and upward,
