Education is an important part of progress in the Johnstown MSA.   In K-12, total enrollment in our 24 public school districts numbers over 35,000, and several private schools add thousands more to that total.   Post secondary education offers superior academic quality -- U.S. News and World Report ranked the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown the fourth best public comprehensive college for bachelor's degrees in the North for the second year in a row.  Choices are both plentiful and affordable, with costs beginning as low as $51 per credit.  In fact, US News and World Report recently ranked Mount Aloysius number one for the lowest average debt per graduate among liberal arts colleges in the Northern U.S.  And, worker training is a focal point.  Several funding and incentive programs are provided via WEDnet and other programs to ensure easy access for growing employee skill sets.
