7/14/2009 

 

Pensacola Junior College President Ed Meadows announces PJC's national ranking as a top producer of associate degrees.

Six of PJC's associate degree rankings place in the Top 100 of all colleges, and four of these place in the Top 50, according to Community College Week.

"We are very proud of our students, faculty and staff for gaining this national recognition," Meadows says. "PJC's track record in student organization competitions and pass rates on licensure exams validate that along with numbers also comes quality at PJC."

The United States has about 1,200 community and technical colleges and hundreds of regional universities such as the University of West Florida and Troy University that also offer associate degrees.
