Harrisburg Area Community College

History

HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College, became the first community college in Pennsylvania on February 14, 1964. HACC is the largest community college in Pennsylvania and serves students at its Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebanon and York campuses. The HACC faculty voted to form a union in April 2022.

In 2005, Harrisburg Area Community College adopted the name HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College. While Harrisburg Area Community College remains the college's full legal name, the college registered the legal alias "HACC, Central Pennsylvania's Community College", in 2007 and began using that name almost exclusively.
