Following its 2006 expansion, the school now offers a larger number of associate degrees and career education programs. Morning, afternoon, and evening classes are available and students can earn a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Management or in Business Leadership. Associate degrees are offered in Multimedia Design, Healthcare Information Technology, Sports and Rehabilitation Therapy, and Paralegal Studies.

At the start of the application procedure is an in-person or over-the-phone interview with a school admissions representative who will help the applicant identify a specific study program to suit their needs and qualifications.

Students are encouraged to submit (optional) letters of recommendation and entrance essays as part of the admissions procedure. Mandatory materials include a filled out Admissions Application and Enrollment Agreement, as well as a passing grade in the Career Programs Assessment Test and (only for paralegal program applicants) a passing grade in the corresponding paralegal test. A final acceptance interview is conducted at the end of the admissions procedure.
