Welcome to Northern Pennsylvania Regional College!
At NPRC, you will quickly discover that we are dedicated to our students, employers, and communities we serve. We meet students where they are and provide quality education and training at an affordable cost to move them along their career paths. Our innovative model was designed for sustainability across our rural footprint. By utilizing state-of-the-art technology in the classrooms of our various partners, we can deliver synchronous education to our students. Our delivery model allows for affordability while investing our resources in quality education rather than campuses.
Officially established in May 2017, NPRC was many years in the making. We are fortunate that our founders had the foresight and will to build this regional college. With the support of our legislators and stakeholders we continue to build quality academic programs and in-demand workforce development programs.
Our offerings include five associate degrees and a variety of workforce development courses. Workforce development courses are offered either as an On-Demand public course or customized training specific to address our employers’ needs.
Please know we are here to serve you. Whatever your needs, our faculty and staff work with you to ensure your success.
We hope you will consider NPRC in your future education journey. We would love for you to join our growing family.

See What Our Students Have to Say
“It was a wonderful experience here at NPRC. I learned so much and my instructor was amazing. He was knowledgeable and made sure that everything we need is uploaded online and communicates well with us. He also held us accountable to make sure we were learning and ready. I enjoyed working alongside my amazing classmates and all the different experiences they brought to the course. Everyone in our class was eager to learn and was proactive about staying up to date on what is being asked of us.”
- Marie, NPRC EMT Graduate
“Attending NPRC was truly life-changing for me and provided a foundation to pursue my passion for early childhood education. I gained the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this field. But it was bigger than just academics; my professors taught me valuable life lessons and instilled important values that have shaped who I am today. Overall, my college journey has not only prepared me for a successful career but has also equipped me with the mindset and tools to make a positive impact on the lives of young children.”
- Brittany, Early Childhood Education Graduate
“I had a fear that this degree would be unobtainable due to being a full-time employee and mother. With the support of family, friends, coworkers, and NPRC, I’ve gained confidence and support to continue my education.”
- Brittney, NPRC Student
“From the first time I found out about
NPRC, I knew attending college was
something I wanted to pursue because
of how genuine the first interaction was.
I’m proof that finding the right path can
be done. It’s worth it to find ways out of
situations you do not want to be in for
better ones. I can’t say enough about how
NPRC’s employees have empowered and
advocated for me.”
- Amanda, NPRC Student
"NPRC’s faculty, staff, and professors do
everything they can to see the students
succeed and provide us with exactly what
we need to do our best both inside the
classroom and out. The early childhood
education program is phenomenal. It was
a school that aided me in balancing class,
schoolwork, and my career. From the start
and throughout my time, NPRC made me
feel like I was at the right place.”
- Savannah, Early Childhood Education Graduate
