Chester County Technical College High School - Veterinary Science Program Alignment Agreement Opportunity

Harcum College will provide students with junior standing in CCIU/TCHS Veterinary Science Program the opportunity to take the Accuplacer Reading Comprehension assessment during the Spring semester. 

Accuplacer is a required placement test for all of the Veterinary Nursing 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.
