The burgeoning of the number of career colleges throughout the U.S., has created competition between the private colleges/universities, public colleges/universities, and virtually every post secondary institution in the country. This is not a bad thing, because it opens the door wider for opportunity to the traditional and non-traditional student. Virtually all of these institutions have different policies and procedures. In addition many of them rely on the student's ability to get federal funding, or scholarship monies. To acquire and keep these students interested, and within the institution's walls is more than a full time job. Faculty, staff and the students themselves must feel the institution offers exactly what they need, in order to succeed. The Career College, in many cases, offers a valuable variety of courses. In doing so, career colleges provide a choice not offered by many four schools. From Certificates to Degrees the Career College provides differentiation of the classes offered versus the Community College, or four year college/university. Using these differences in classes, and providing the resourses discussed earlier, help to maintain and attract the non-traditional student, and the students that are seeking skill development versus disciplines such as marketing, biology, etc. But the most important issue is keeping the student interested, active and providing a learning environment, in which the student gets a return for his/her investment of time and capital.
