I believe if you do not want to go into the whole 4-year college then this is a good place to start. They offer certificates, associate degrees, and bachelor's degrees. Each of these is different in how long you'd be in school. They all include an externship which if you work at a clinic, hospital, or wherever you're career leads you, you can have a feel for what your future job will be. The classes are not big, mine at the moment is less than 30 students. The staff in this school wants you to succeed and make something in your life.

Israel - 03/31/2022

I love it. Plenty of opportunities and more. Very helpful staff and very encouraging. Faculty have many years of experience and the most helpful when it comes to receiving the most out of your education. The class size is small and caters to your needs quite well.

Pinkie - 02/12/2020

It's a pretty good school. The teachers are very nice and they make sure that you understand the information before they move on to new information. They are very hands on even though its fast paced they take the time to make sure that your ok with the information.

    The most interesting thing about the school I will attend, is that class are given at an excelerated pace, and everything is hands-on. I feel that I learn best hand-on, actually simulating the material. The student/teacher ratio is very manageable, this allows for the instructors to attend to each and one of their students on a on-on-one basis.
