Quite disappointed. I attended this college for one semester found it was expensive with poor quality education. I was originally advised my credits would transfer to the local university and later advised they would not. Don't waste your money.

I am also having a problem with obtaining a transcript/diploma from Draughons College. I recently went to the site of the school who purchased the college here in OKC (years ago), they know nothing, and nothing on their website shows anything about how to contact them to obtain one! Try explaining that when your prospective employer asks...

I am a graduate of Draughons Junior College of Atlanta, Ga. I had a very great experience with the school. Not only did I attended the Medical Assistant program that you had available, but the school also provided daycare on-site for my child. I am grateful for the opportunity that was afforded me. My only concern at this time is I have been trying to find out how I can get a copy of my transcript and a copy of my Diploma. I graduated in July of 1993 at the West Peachtree location of Atlanta, Ga. when the school was in operation. Now that it is closed down could you please, please help.
