Pierce College At Fort Lewis

JBLM has amazing professors and defiinitly helps out the transfer student. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because most classes are in the evenings. It is catered more to the military member rather than spouses and the main pierce campuses do not support transfer students. It is very difficult for spouses with dependents to take evening classes since children are out of school and daycare centers close at 6. If the service member is deployed, sent to YTC, NTC, ALC, SLC, BLC, or any type of training or school the dependent is left without a lot of options. Teachers are amazing and extremely accommodating if something comes up. Most are retirees or spouses themselves and understand the chaos. Online classes are amazing for spouses. I am referring more to classes that require a lab or students who are not adept in online learning. Most online teachers are unable to call or contact you over the phone so a quick question about an assignment takes 12-24 hours to hear a response.
