School Notes
Las Vegas College was founded by Betty Krolak in 1979 under the
name Krolak Business Institute. Barbara A. and E. T. Paulus
purchased the Institute in December of 1980 and incorporated it
under the name of TO-Ba Corporation. The Institute was granted a
license to award Associate degrees on January 7, 1986, and the
Institute�s name was changed to Las Vegas Business College. The
college was acquired by Rhodes Colleges, Inc. on October 17, 1996.
At that time, the name of the institution was changed to Las Vegas
College. To better accomodate the needs of the students and
community, Las Vegas College added the Henderson, NV campus in
addition to its Las Vegas location. In 2005, the Las Vegas Campus
merged with the Henderson campus. Our programs emphasize real-world
training that is tailored to meet the needs of potential employers.
The fields of study focus on industries that offer solid, long-term
career opportunities for graduates. Here at our campus, we maintain
a well-defined program philosophy of providing a quality education
that emphasizes practical skills; employ a highly skilled and
dedicated faculty; and cater to students seeking a strong knowledge
base and the experience needed to succeed in their chosen fields.
Las Vegas College is accredited by the Accrediting Council for
Independent Colleges and Schools to award occupational associate's
degrees and diplomas.
