Technical colleges offer many opportunities in a wide range of vocational fields. Students having a particular field in mind should check with the counselor for advice on high school courses that may be helpful. Apply early, as many technical colleges have limited seats in certain areas of study. Please remember that technical and community colleges highly encourage students to complete college prep classes which include three or more years of math, science, social studies and four years of English. Students will also take placement tests in the areas of reading, writing and math upon acceptance.
