Northern Pennsylvania Regional College (NPRC) is an open admissions college operating in nine counties (Cameron, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Forest, McKean, Potter, Venango, and Warren) in northern Pennsylvania. Rather than being a bricks and mortar institution, underutilized community locations are used to deliver classroom instruction through live, interactive video technology that connects classrooms together across the region. NPRC is authorized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to award Associate degrees and certificates in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and are proudly pursuing regional accreditation. regionalcollegepa.org
