Looking for welding classes.

Does anyone know if any welding classes are offered anywhere in Northeast PA area? Was looking at the local community college but it seems as though you have to take an entire major just to get the welding class. Any help would be appreciated. :help:

Thanks for the link. Ended up with the local community college first on the list. I think I'll end up going there despite my gripes with the way the financing part of the equation goes. The course description is exactly what I'm looking for.

First semester
