PCC President Eileen Holden awards approximately 300 diplomas each May. In December, which includes summer graduates, about 500 students typically are eligible to walk in the commencement ceremonies.

About 70 percent of PCC's graduates receive Associate in Arts (AA) degrees, which are parallel and transferable to state universities. The remaining 30 percent of the students will receive Associate in Science (AS) degrees, which lead directly to employment.

Over 24,000 diplomas have been awarded by PCC since it began in 1964. More than half of PCC's graduates continue to live and work in Polk County. As each ceremony approaches, more details will be posted on PCC News.
