Why Delta College?

group of nursing students

You may be wondering, why should I attend Delta College? We have answers.

The truth is that students have attended this college for years because we have proven we can train students for new opportunities in a great environment using hands-on techniques from instructors who care. Our small class sizes mean more personal attention from instructors, regardless of what diploma program you’re interested in.

Why Delta College Stands Out

Discover what makes Delta College a top choice for career-focused education.

Great Programs

We train for today’s “in-demand” career opportunities including programs* in Practical Nursing, Medical Assistant, Medical Office and Health Information Technician, Dental Assistant, Graphic Design, and Massage Therapy.

Please note that not all programs are available at every campus.

Easy Enrollment Process

All applicants receive personal assistance through an admissions representative to guide them through the admissions process.

Good Location

Delta campuses are situated in easily accessible areas from most parts of the cities and surrounding communities in which they are located.

No Waiting List

Even though our Practical Nursing program (LPN) has graduated more students than any other campus in the state since 2003, we have always been able to accommodate all qualified PN student candidates to date.

Safety

According to local law enforcement statistics our campuses are located in safe areas.

Dedicated Faculty & Staff

Instructors and programs designed for success.

Caring Instructors

They CARE! That’s what many of our past students and graduates have to say about our instructors.

Competent Instructors

All of our instructors have at least 4 years of work experience in the subjects they teach – real world skills for real world jobs.

Committed Instructors

Our average faculty member has been employed for several years. A stable faculty helps to insure quality instruction and is evidence that our instructors enjoy teaching.

Friendly, Helpful Administration

All of us are committed to seeking the best for our students. Our goal is to have a positive impact on ever life we touch.

Real-World Experience & Certifications

Delta prepares you for the workforce with hands-on training and credentials.

Externships

Externships are a part of many majors. During the final weeks of your training, you will apply your skills at a local business. Externships are great “real world” experience, are excellent employment references, and can even lead to job offers.

Certifications Available

Many majors have opportunities to gain certifications* associated with their training such as Certified Medical Assistant and Certified Medical Administrative Assistant.

Please note that certifications are program specific and that not all programs are available at every campus.

Job Placement Assistance

Our goal is employed graduates! We work with all students during school and after graduation to help you find the job that’s right for you.

Flexible & Fast-Paced Learning

Learn on your schedule and get to work quickly.

Day or Evening Classes

Many of our majors can be completed at night to accommodate your schedule.

Please note that this is determined by program and campus.

4-Day School Week

Most of our classes are conducted Monday through Thursday. This allows our students to take care of other responsibilities without missing classes.

Less Time

Our programs are designed to provide the needed job skills in the shortest amount of time practical. Most of our programs are normally completed in 7 ½ months (12 months for the evening division).

Convenient Start Dates

Most of our programs start every six weeks.

Small Classes

Insuring personal attention.

Accessibility & Support

Delta is affordable, accessible, and supportive from day one.

Affordable

One of the most affordable private schools in the area.
