School Notes
Our 6.5-acre campus is located just minutes from Pacific Coast
Highway and some of the most beautiful beaches in California. Our
campus also features shaded walkways and relaxing areas in which to
gather with friends and fellow students. Plus, Brooks College Long
Beach has a large swimming pool, generous dining hall, and the
convenience of on-campus housing. All of our classrooms, labs,
studios and learning centers offer extended hours to accommodate
both traditional and non-traditional students. The city of Long
Beach offers a wide variety of multicultural art, design and
musical activities, outdoor recreation, and active nightlife. We
couldn't offer the depth and sophistication of our academics and
hands-on experience if it were not for our ideal location. Our
proximity to Los Angeles allows our students to be inspired by the
diverse array of multi-national businesses that call Los Angeles
their home. Plus, we borrow some of the best professionals from
these industries for teaching and gain direct access to their
environments for our students. Brooks College Long Beach offers
degree programs that are designed to help students reach their
career goals. Our academic programs are evaluated and updated
regularly to provide our students with the most current information
available in the workplace today. Changes in the curriculum are
initiated by changes in the industry and we work with employers and
professional organizations to maintain the most relevant curriculum
possible. Instructional groups are limited in size in order to
encourage participation and creative growth, and to promote dynamic
discussion within the classroom. Plus, the small class sizes allow
each student to receive the individual attention they deserve. Our
applied approach to education makes learning an interactive
experience and just like the real world, you'll share ideas, solve
problems, and uncover innovative business solutions.
