Overview of Career Centers of Texas
Career Centers of Texas offers career training programs in several areas of study. The school has four campuses, all located in the state of Texas. The school evolved from the San Antonio College of Medical and Dental Assistants, an institution founded in 1966 as one of Texas' oldest private career schools teaching allied health programs. In 1985, Career Centers of El Paso was founded as a branch of the institution, but in 1998, became a free standing institution as Career Centers of Texas–El Paso, Inc. The school underwent a series of ownership changes until finally being bought by Kaplan, Inc. In addition to the El Paso site, Career Centers has established campuses at locations in Brownsville, Corpus Christi, and Fort Worth.
