Carrington College California began life as Western Career College in Sacramento, California in 1967. Since those early days we have grown in size and stature. Although a lot has changed in the 44 years since we first opened our doors, our focus remains the same more than 35,000 graduates later; we want to change lives for the better.
We don't just prepare our students for a fulfilling career; we try to help each and every one of them find their way towards a profession that truly suits them.
Personal and professional development, communication skills, respect, and responsibility; all these attributes are emphasized in our certificate and associate degree programs. By instilling a philosophy that values not only learning and professionalism, but also contribution and commitment to their community, we help our students grow as individuals.
