Overview
At TESST College of Technology, we strive to provide quality education in the allied health, criminal justice, information technology, and trades fields. Our three campuses, located in Baltimore, Beltsville, and Towson, Maryland, offer associate’s degree and certificate programs that combine general education, professional skills, and career-focused education to help you develop the skills to achieve your personal and career goals.
Kaplan Higher Education is the owner of TESST and a handful of other career-oriented post-secondary institutions across the country.
Points of Distinction
Areas of Study
TESST delivers career education in allied health, criminal justice, information technology, trades.
Areas of Study may vary by location. Additional academy training may be required for law enforcement positions. Certain positions may require additional training, licensing, or certification. Applicants to the Criminal Justice program in the state of Texas will require additional training approved by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) upon graduation in order to seek the following positions: police officer, peace officer, sheriff deputy, bailiff, and jailer. Paralegals are not lawyers and cannot practice law or give legal advice.
TESST College of Technology Admissions and Financial Aid
Getting into TESST requires meeting some basic requirements but otherwise it’s an open and non-competitive system. Prospective students are expected to be high school grads, possess a GED or, for some programs and for those of sufficient age, pass a basic competency test administered by a third party.
As with just about all post-secondary schools, there’s a tuition bill that needs to be paid. However, student aid may be available to qualified applicants to help ease the burden. In fact, the vast majority of students who attend the school receive some form of assistance. TESST’s Financial Aid Office helps students work through the details of the process.
Faculty
The school’s faculty members draw upon their workplace experience and relevant educational background to deliver the practical career education that make students attractive to employers after graduation.
Student Body
Enrollment at the campuses range from a few hundred at the Alexandria campus to over 1000 at the Baltimore location. There are more women than men at each location, although the gender ratio varies among locations and within programs.
Student Life
Campuses are located in and around Baltimore (plus one near Washington, DC in Alexandria, VA) to make it easy for commuting students to access the school. The Baltimore and Washington areas provide many interesting entertainment, cultural and recreational opportunities for students to exploit when not in class or studying.
