The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee conducted a study pursuant to Senate Resolution 2011-147 examining the need for public community college programs in rural Pennsylvania, completed in December 2011. The committee found that while Pennsylvania's 14 local independent public community colleges play an important role in workforce development and economic growth, they are not geographically, programmatically, or financially accessible to residents of rural communities. The report recommends that the Commonwealth consider various approaches used by other states to strategically place public community colleges statewide to ensure equitable access to publicly supported postsecondary education.
