Help Rename Pasco-Hernando Community College

Pasco-Hernando Community College students tired of saying that mouthful every time they’re asked where they go to school may find relief on the horizon.

The college has announced plans to change its name as it goes through the application process to add two bachelor’s degree programs to its roster. To sweeten the pot, the school is asking for student, faculty and resident input in coming up with a new moniker, according to its Facebook page.

The college has set up an online survey that enables participants to select from a few names already on the drawing board, including College of Pasco-Hernando, Pasco-Hernando College and Pasco-Hernando State College. There are also a few slots where new suggestions can be offered.

Why the name change?

“Pasco-Hernando Community College is seeking approval from the Division of Florida Colleges and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree and a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree,” the college’s website says. “As part of the approval process, the College will need to change its name.”

PHCC is in the process of expanding into Wesley Chapel. It plans to open the Porter Campus in the Wiregrass area in 2014.
