Info

What Are My Options? Proprietary Schools (Technical Schools, Trade Schools, and Institutes) • Offer training programs for specific careers, such as medical assisting, auto mechanics, beauty, culinary arts, and others. • In general, these are short-term programs that last 3 to 18 months. • When you complete one of these training programs, you receive a certificate or diploma in the career field. You do not receive a college degree. Why you might consider this option: If you know the career field you want to enter, or your life circumstances would make it difficult to invest more time and money in longer-term education at this time. Two-year Community Colleges • Offer career certificates and Associate’s degrees and prepare you for certain careers or to enroll in a four-year college or university. • In general, to apply to a two-year college, you only have to submit an application, the application fee, and proof that you have a high school diploma or G.E.D. Sometimes there are exceptions to this. One example is nursing where you are required to have a criminal background check before being accepted. Why you might consider this option: If your chosen career requires an Associate’s degree or you want more time to prepare for entering a four-year college. Four-year Colleges and Universities • Offer a Bachelor’s degree and prepare students for a variety of professional careers. • Required by most new jobs in the current economy and in the future. • Provide opportunities to explore new subjects and career options, and also to develop broad learning and transferable skills such as critical thinking, communication, research, and writing. Why you might consider this option: If your long-term career goal requires a Bachelor’s degree and you are ready for that type of long-term challenge.

Private Occupational School Students Each state regulates private, post-secondary occupational schools differently. These are schools that provide instruction for business, trade, correspondence, cosmetology, and real estate courses. Since most colleges, and other private occupational schools, will not accept coursework from private post-secondary certificate or diploma programs, students who receive certificates or diplomas from these schools may find that future educational options are limited, as may be their future earning potential. For more information on your state regulations there are two places to check first: 1) National Association of State Administrators and Supervisors of Private Schools (NASASPS) at http://www.nasasps.com/consumer.htm l. 2) Listing of states’ Departments of Education at http://www.doe.state.in.us/htmls/states.html. Post-Secondary Pathways Available To Those With A High School Diploma Or Ged Certificate/diploma programs* Associate’s/Bachelor’s degree Graduate school *Private occupational school students may find that: • they do not have access to life long learning opportunities via established educational paths • some federal student loans and state grants are unavailable because not all private occupational schools are Title IV approved by the US Department of Education • they are unable to transfer existing coursework into collegiate programs* • they have to start coursework from scratch • they need to pay twice for foundational-level coursework due to lack of transferability • there is reduction in the amount of financial aid for which they are eligible if they pursue a degree (if they use Title IV) Accredited schools are allowed to use the term “credit hour,” giving students the false impression of college-level equivalency. Occasionally colleges will accept some coursework from accredited private occupational schools; however, many private occupational schools are not accredited. *At the discretion of the target institution, students may recoup coursework via challenge exams and credit for life long learning.
