History

Harrisburg Area Community College was established February 14, 1964, as the first community college in Pennsylvania.

HACC welcomed its first class of 426 students on September 21 of the same year. In seeking to fulfill its mission of

¡°providing educational and cultural opportunities to the community it serves,¡± HACC has become the largest community

college in Pennsylvania, with over 17,400 students enrolled in the fall 2019.

Over the past 56 years HACC has grown and expanded its mission to include campuses at Gettysburg, Harrisburg,

Lancaster, Lebanon and York, as well as a robust online education program and two Midtown Harrisburg locations to

house the College¡¯s technology and trade programs. HACC now has more than 103 associate degree, certificate and

diploma programs. Study abroad opportunities also are available.

HACC's Workforce Development and Continuing Education Division offers professional development, job training, and

personal enrichment courses/programs designed for both individuals and corporations. The College is one of the largest

providers of workforce training in the state serving over 700 companies with over 23,000 enrollments in the areas of

public safety, job skills, healthcare, technology and trades training, and computer skills.

Today, HACC, Central Pennsylvania¡¯s Community College, has many strengths: exceptional faculty, student-centered

libraries, well-equipped laboratories and studios, modern, well-maintained campuses, and quality programs and services.

HACC¡¯s reputation reflects the quality and dedication of its faculty and staff and its commitment to meeting the needs of

the 11 counties and students it serves.
