MERCER COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

MCCC’s nationally accredited, Part 141 certified program trains students to become professional pilots, and is the only one of its kind in the region, drawing students from throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. According to MCCC President Patricia C. Donohue, the administration and the Board of Trustees engaged in an intensive study of the Aviation program over the past three years, exploring all ways to resolve a budget deficit while maintaining an excellent statewide program. “We are very pleased to announce this new partnership,” Donohue says. “It’s a win for students, the college, a county business, and the airport. Now our program is viable for the long term and costs will be controlled.”'
