FREE Early College-Readiness Opportunity

Chester County Technical College High School - Health Career Pathways Alignment Agreement Opportunity

Harcum College will provide students with junior standing in CCIU/TCHS Health Career Pathways the opportunity to take the Accuplacer Reading Comprehension assessment during the Spring semester

Accuplacer is a required placement test for all of the Center for Allied Health Science majors at Harcum. It assesses students' readiness for postsecondary coursework by evaluating students' reading comprehension skills, a key indicator of college success. Providing this early evaluation will allow time for a student to remediate if necessary to attain college ready scores, potentially advancing a student's placement and decreasing the number of courses required at Harcum. 

This assessment will be administered at a CCIU/TCHS campus at no charge.
