Question: References and reviews on Trade and Technical colleges.?

Also, opinions from those who attended them. Right now I'm looking at Coleman College in San Diego and Herzing College in Birmingham, AL. Both these offer majors in Information/Internet Security which is what I'm looking for. Although it's a start, I believe there is more information out there then I've been able to find.

Best Answer

I graduated from a 2 year Technical College with a degree in Computer Information Systems. Although I don't have reviews on any technical colleges near you, I loved it. The classes were small, thus allowing us our own computers in the lab environments. The teacher-to-student ratio was also small, but this was good because some of the teachers allowed us to call them at home for help with the homework. Going to college for only for 2 years allowed me to decide whether I wanted to go on to obtain my 4 year degree in the same field, or try something else (I'm still debating, btw). All of the credits are transferrable. Good luck!
