OUR DECISION TO PRIORITIZE MEDICAL AND NURSING PROGRAMS
A Focus On The Future
At Carrington College, our students are the future. That’s why we continue to strive for an education experience that gives our students the best possible start on the future they want. It’s also why we made the decision to transition the trades education programs under San Joaquin Valley College while Carrington College will focus on Healthcare. This will allow both schools to focus on their specialized career education areas as part of our alignment strategy. It will enable us to help our students sharpen their focus on their future in the healthcare field.
Specialization Allows Us to Divert All of Our Resources to Healthcare Education.
Aligning our commitment toward healthcare career education gives us the opportunity to put the entirety of our resources – from faculty to facilities toward the value of a specialized education. By bringing together our nursing and allied health programs, we are recommitting our resources to benefit our students in their education and careers.
Changes to Program Availability & Locations
Students currently enrolled will be able to complete their education on the same campuses, with the same faculty and support without interruption.
Carrington College will be adding locations and expanding our program offerings in the state of California.
What These Changes Mean for Alumni.
The alignment does not affect graduation status, diplomas, or career support services offered through Carrington College. Alumni can still take advantage of career services, and be assured that the value of their education with employers and in their employment pursuits will continue.
Employers: Hiring Carrington College Alumni with a credential from a program we no longer offer?
There will be no impact as part of the alignment process. The college remains available to support verification of credentials.
