Parents
Students have a number of options available for their post-secondary education and choosing an institution is one of the most important decisions a family will make together. We at Garrett College are thankful that your family is considering our institution as a great place to launch students on the way to attaining their lifetime goals and aspirations.
Garrett College is much more than a college. We are truly a launching pad for students to build the career and life they desire. Whether a student has a clearly focused vision for their future or is still in the process of “finding” themselves, Garrett College, through its location, programs and people, can provide the means to drive student success.
Some of the benefits our college provides, includes:
- A strong foundation in both academics and workforce development
- A variety of programs to enable students to transfer or go directly into the workforce
- A beautiful, safe environment conducive to learning, maturation and self-reflection
- A faculty that cares and works directly with individual students
- A very cost-effective program of study that limits student, and parent, debt
- A college experience that can help students find their path and achieve their goals
