About this business
Specialties: Pierce College creates quality educational opportunities for a diverse community of learners to thrive in an evolving world. Established in 1967.

The financial aid office at pierce college has no sense of communication with other departments and students. Dealing with financial aid office will be your worst experience at pierce college. People have no answers, very disorganized and don’t communicate. They seem to be completely separate from college and employees have no idea about how to get the job done.

I study two years,respect my teachers Johanna Hamilton and Julie Sandeno 👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You can NEVER get a hold of anyone! You can only get an appointment if you take the day off and go into the campus in person. When you do get appointments, they call and cancel the appointment.

This school is a joke!

Due to ongoing mistreatment across several areas, I’ve contacted an attorney to explore my options. The college urgently needs a comprehensive overhaul fro... read more
