Technical colleges provide affordable, career-oriented programs, which enable students to begin their careers after only one or two years of college. Technical colleges also offer short-term training in a wide variety of career fields. Many technical college programs are open access; meaning no entrance exams or scores are required for admission. However, some programs have GPA and/or ACT score requirements. Additionally, some programs may have specific coursework requirements. Be sure to check the technical college website for more detailed information.
