Press release from the El Paso Community College: November 11, 2021 During this time that we honor our veterans, El Paso Community College (EPCC) wants veterans and active-duty military to be aware of our College Credit for Heroes program. This innovative program awards full or partial credit through their Joint Service Contract. Credit is awarded for what students already know. "College Credit for Heroes provides an accelerated path to completion of certificates and degrees for our military students," Dr. Myshie Pagel, EPCC Dean of Education and Career & Technical Education said. "This is an adaptive learning model that helps students accelerate through a course in 8 weeks or less." "I needed a school that was going to be able to work with me," Jason Cannavino, Veteran and EPCC Graduate said. "The flexibility of EPCC with online courses was great." EPCC's College Credit for Heroes offers 12 courses in the areas of Information Technology, Teacher Prep, Criminal Justice and Business. Veteran and active-duty students can find all the information at https://www.epcc.edu/Admissions/college-credit-for-heroes. This press release was produced by the El Paso Community College.
