Career colleges with science programs are a post-secondary option too often overlooked by students searching for science programs in the US. Career colleges have been around since the mid-19th century and are usually private institutions offering short professional and technical programs (usually 1 to 2 years). The main goal of career colleges--as their name might suggest--is to make sure graduates are career-ready by providing up-to-date, relevant skills-based training as well as industry connections and career placement assistance. As a result, career colleges have much to offer that universities and other colleges can't provide.
Unlike at universities where you can study "pure" science, at the career college level, science programs often cross into several other areas like computer science, health science, animal and agricultural science, sport and rehabilitation science, and various types of technology applications. Which means you may have to look in several different departments of a school in order to find the kind of science program that suits the career path you're interested in. But once you find it, you can be sure to get exactly what the job demands, since programs are often developed with, and taught by, practitioners in their respective scientific fields. Here on Science Programs in the USA you can read up on this field of study as well as on what career colleges are all about and what you can expect from a career college education. So start searching and surprise yourself with what you might find at career colleges in the US!
