Sanford-Brown College
Sanford-Brown College provides career-oriented educational programs for students who want to learn the skills they need to succeed without having to go to the time and expense of a full four-year degree program. The school's Associate degree programs can typically be completed in about 14 months, while the diploma programs can be completed in around nine months. The College doesn't skimp on educational quality, though, using qualified instructors, many with industry experience, and high-tech industry equipment for the hands-on portions of the student's education.
Classes are offered during the day, and in the evening, with new classes starting every five weeks. In addition to the coursework that is focused on the skills needed to land an entry-level position, the school offers career assistance to all graduates, including career development instruction. Graduates can return to campus to audit classes and keep their skills current on a space-available basis.
