About this school
Susquehanna County Career and Technology Center is a public trade and career school located in Springville, PA, in a distant rural setting. The campus is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education and is approved for federal financial aid (Title IV), meaning eligible students can use FAFSA-based aid to help pay for training. Its most common programs are cosmetology, LPN/LVN nursing, and massage therapy, with welding also offered among its four program families.
Federal data show a completion rate of 96.7%, well above the state average of 66.2% for comparable programs.

With an undergraduate enrollment of 23 and 40 recent completers, this is a small, focused campus. The program mix — cosmetology, practical nursing, massage therapy, and welding — suggests shorter, hands-on career-training tracks rather than multi-year associate degrees, which may suit adult learners or career changers seeking a faster path into licensed trades, though specific program lengths are not reported here. Prospective students should verify accreditation status directly with the Council on Occupational Education and review current outcomes on the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling.
