Vocational and Technical Programs

Vocational and technical programs offer students a pathway to become credentialed in a specific area. These programs can be academically based (associate degree track) OR certification-only based (no "basic" academic courses). Although there are many private institutions that can certify students, junior colleges also offer a a wide variety of vocational and technical programs that for a more reasonable price. Some junior colleges also offer housing options. Financial Aid can be applied to vocational programs taken through Junior Colleges.
