Mission

The mission of Pinnacle Career Institute is to empower our students to better their lives and to contribute positively to the organizations and communities in which they work and live. We accomplish this by providing quality higher education with a "student-centered" focus that prepares them for careers in allied health, business, and technical-professional industry-related fields. We serve our students locally, nationally and internationally through our respective campus locations and distance learning formats. We are passionate and agile in responding to the changing needs of our students, employers and the communities we serve through processes of ongoing assessment, evaluation and improvement.

Admissions.

Students are encouraged to apply for admission as soon as possible in order to be accepted for their specific program of study and start date. All applicants are required to complete a personal interview with an admission coordinator, either in person or by telephone, dependent on geographic distance.  Parents and/or significant others are encouraged to attend. This gives the applicants and their families an opportunity to learn about the institution and ask questions in regards to curriculum and career objectives. Personal interviews also enable the institution to determine if an applicant is a strong candidate to be accepted into Pinnacle Career Institute.

PCI believes in equal opportunity and welcomes all qualified candidates regardless of sex, race, color or national origin. Applicants must be 18 years of age by the date they graduate from PCI. Exceptions to this age limit will be made only with the written consent of the student’s parents.

All applicants must have a high school diploma or General Education Diploma (GED).

Candidates will be formally accepted and enrolled after these steps have been completed. Any student with special needs should contact the school individually to discuss these requirements.

Any student with a documented need for special accommodations should notify the admission staff or Director of Education before or during the first week of classes. PCI complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and state and local requirements regarding students with disabilities. In compliance with federal and state regulations, reasonable accommodation or services are provided to qualified students with disabilities.

A request for accommodation or services is deemed reasonable if the request:

• Is based on documented individual needs.
• Does not compromise essential requirements of a course or program.
• Does not impose a financial or administrative burden upon PCI beyond that which is deemed reasonable and customary.
• Is within the scope of PCI’s control.
