Career
- Technical Education Centers
Career - technical centers prepare you for specific occupations. Many centers
integrate the academic curriculum with real-life applications and with apprenticeships.
Usually, day and night classes are available.
Two-Year Community Colleges / Junior Colleges
Offer a wide variety of two-year degree programs, these smaller colleges
often offer many special services and allow students to adjust to college
life before going on to a larger four-year university or to the world of
work. The tuition at most two-year institutions is very reasonable and often
students are able to live at home while taking classes.
Four-Year Colleges/Universities
Four-year universities usually offer many special services and have a multitude
of degree programs. Class size is usually large and most students live in
dorms or commute to campus. Whatever options you consider, contact the institutions
that can help you reach your career goals, visit the campuses, and talk
with the counselors and disabilities service coordinators about your goals
and special needs.
