The only thing you can really count on is change. There’s the kind you anticipate – high school graduation, college, new job, new family. And there’s the kind you dread – a lay-off, a divorce, a plan gone awry. And when change comes your way, you find ways to adapt.
You learn new things, make a new plan, take on a new challenge.
Education often has a role in big life changes. Whether it’s training for a promotion, retraining for a new job or setting out after a long-deferred dream, South Texas College has classes and degree programs to move you toward your new goals. Choose part time or full-time, day or evening classes. Start small with a certificate or jump right into an associate’s degree and transfer to a four-year institution.
Funding for this Program Promotion Resource has been provided through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board with Perkins Basic Grant funds received from the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act.
South Texas College’s small classes, comprehensive services and caring teachers are here to help you learn – and change. Not sure what’s next? Take a look at this A-Z listing of South Texas College programs. You never know, something unexpected might catch your eye. And change your life.
