Overview of Technology Education College
Founded in 1965 as the Electronics Computer Programming Institute of Columbus, Technology Education College has since expanded beyond its roots as a computer programming school. Today, the school offers career training in health care and legal fields as well as computers.
The school is independently accredited by Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (ACCST), an accreditation organization based in Arlington, VA. The school is also approved by the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools, part of the State of Ohio government.
Points of Distinction
Areas of Study
The school offers programs in three distinct areas:
Some programs lead to Associate of Applied Science while others provide a Diploma upon completion.
Technology Education College Admissions and Financial Aid
Students need to provide the school with evidence of completion of high school or an acceptable equivalent. In some cases, a student without a high school diploma or equivalent and who is old enough may be able to attend if he or she can pass a competency test call an ATB or Ability To Benefit. This exception only applies to a limited number of programs.
An overwhelming majority of students at the school received some sort of financial assistance, based on a survey of 2004-5 enrollees. This assistance comes in the form of federal grants, state and local grants, and loans. Students should apply for Federal aid before enrolling in the school. There’s a financial aid office at Technology Education College that helps applicants and students secure the funds they need to start and continue their educations.
Technology Education College Faculty Quality
The school’s competent faculty provide their students with the real world skills they need to succeed in the careers that they choose.
Technology Education College Student Body
Approximately 500 students attend the school, although enrollment can fluctuate. Women outnumber men by a significant margin and a large portion of the school’s population is African-American.
Technology Education College Student Life
Students tend to be from the Columbus area and seek employment in the area after program completion. There are no dormitories or other on-campus residential facilities. Columbus, being the largest city in Ohio and also home to one of the largest college campuses in the country, has much to offer college-age residents.
