Postsecondary Education

Prior to starting in a formal post secondary program AAD students participate in a nine week college prep course here at AAD. This course focuses on bringing the students’ reading and math skills to the college level so that they can pass the community college entry exams and not have to take remedial courses. Additionally the students enroll in a non-credit community college course on-line that is of particular interest to the student. The student completes the work for this course here at AAD. This on-line course helps the students to remember the need for consistent attendance and completion of assignments on a fixed schedule.

We currently support students in accredited post-secondary programs at DTCC for careers in healthcare, business and high-tech fields, such as:

  • Medical Coding
  • Paralegal
  • Nursing
  • University Transfer
  • Business Administration
  • Accounting
  • Certified Dietary Manager
  • Automotive Technology
  • Computer Engineering Technology
  • Associate’s Degree
