Hacc
HACC is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In 2005, Harrisburg Area Community College adopted the slogan: Central Pennsylvania's Community College.
While Harrisburg Area Community College remains the college's full legal name, the college registered the legal alieas HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College in 2007 and began using that name almost exclusively.
HACC’s combined credit and noncredit programs serve approximately 60,000 persons annually as an increasing number of people turn to the College for personal and professional growth opportunities. The College’s more than 30,000 alumni, many of whom support the College with both their time and gifts, have achieved distinction in almost every field, including business, medicine, law, the arts, education, human and public service, the military, and the technologies.
Campuses
HACC, established in 1964, was the first community college in Pennsylvania.
The Community Center of Technology and the Arts on 4th Street is now part of the Midtown site with Boyd Street (now a walkway) connecting to the other Midtown building.
Boyd Street (Urban Campus)
A block-long park and walkway will replace an alley near Harrisburg Area Community College's Midtown campus. Full of trees and greenery, the park will replace Boyd Street between the 1500 blocks of North Third and North Fourth streets.
C.J.
Elder, president of the neighborhood development group Friends of Midtown, said the meadow will give a "sense of renewal" to the alley. "It's always better to add a tree than to add a parking lot."
Activities
HACC students at the Harrisburg campus recently began extramural competition within the Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference, competing in the sports of Volleyball, Basketball and Soccer.
