Programs & Courses
Let's face it. A traditional college degree path is not for everyone, and now, more than ever, there is a need for those who want to pursue a different experience.
Fields like construction/trades, IT/computers, and allied health are booming and the
hands-on, noncredit programs offered at Harford Community College allow students to
directly enter the workforce—sometimes in less than a year—or boost their resumés.
In addition, professional development and service related training leads to high-demand
jobs and career advancement.
