Testimonials
"Best technical, hands-on forestry program in PA! Instructors, Don Nibert, Rich Rankinen and Jack Pivirotto are excellent teachers!"
"The Forest Technology program provided the basic knowledge of how to succeed in the lumber/forestry industry. The knowledge I came away with helped me in the years to come in my career."
"As a non-traditional student, I chose to attend Pennsylvania College of Technology for an Associate Degree in Forest Technology. After my two years of study and graduating in May 2002, I’m glad I had the opportunity to experience everything Penn College had to offer. Many outdoor labs were needed, as hands-on experience in the different forest types and use of equipment was important to enhance my education. With the rapid changing industry, Penn College has the technology and resources that it takes to satisfy those needs."
"The hands-on technical aspects of Penn College’s Forest Technology program gave me a solid foundation for continuing my education and achieving my goal of becoming an educator. The career services at PCT assisted to insure the credits I completed at PCT would transfer to PSU."
"I took a lot from the forestry classrooms especially in chain saw safety and chain saw maintenance. Although it's hard to comment on every class, overall the classes helped prepare me for this job."
