School Notes
Maric College is part of a network of over 75 schools nationwide
offering quality career-focused education. The tradition of
excellence began in 1987 when Educational Medical, Inc. purchased
three well-respected Maric Colleges - a group of career colleges
offering training in the allied health fields - in Southern
California. In 1998, Educational Medical, Inc. changed its name to
Quest Education Corporation to better reflect the diversity of
programs within the 30 schools operating in 11 states. In August of
2000, Quest Education Corporation was purchased by Kaplan, Inc., a
division of the Washington Post. Quest Education Corporation
changed its name to Kaplan Higher Education Corporation in 2002.
The college offers different program options at each of our
locations across California. We offer career-focused education in
