Career-Focused Schools Come Together to Expand Educational Mission
SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Career Education Corporation (NASDAQ:CECO) announced today thatit
is uniting the educational mission of International Academy of Design
and Technology (IADT), Brown College and Sanford-Brown to create
comprehensive career schools under the Sanford-Brown name.
Bringing these career-focused schools together expands the Sanford-Brown
educational mission, allowing the schools to provide more comprehensive
programs and resources to students at 18 campuses across the country.
“Each of these schools brings a dynamic set of educational offerings and
student services that are focused on helping students succeed,” said
Scott W. Steffey, President and CEO of Career Education. “Joining IADT
and Brown College under the Sanford-Brown name combines the strengths of
these schools together to offer a broader array of programs and
resources to help our students reach their educational goals.”
The new Sanford-Brown will include four newly-created schools of study
that will allow for greater focus on individual, career-focused
disciplines. The School of Health, the IADT School of Design, the School
of Technology and the School of Business will form the foundation of the
new Sanford-Brown. In time, campuses that currently focus on a single
area of study may grow to include other areas of study by adding some or
all of these disciplines. These new schools of study will also allow
campuses to offer programs that better cater to the needs of prospective
students and employers in the local market.
IADT campuses in Las Vegas, Orlando and Seattle will be renamed
Sanford-Brown College, as will Brown College in Brooklyn Center and
Mendota Heights, Minn. IADT in San Antonio is housed in the same
building with Sanford-Brown College, and IADT in Tampa is located near
the Sanford-Brown campus there. In these two cities, the two schools
will come together under the Sanford-Brown College name. IADT Online
will become Sanford-Brown Online while existing Sanford-Brown campuses
will retain their current name.
“As we make this transition, we remain committed to continuing to
provide a dynamic and supportive environment where students can get the
support they need for the success they want,” Steffey said.
As IADT and Brown College join the Sanford-Brown network of colleges and
institutes, a new logo has been created to reflect the new
Sanford-Brown. Featuring four interlocking links, the logo signifies how
the interests of student, school, employer and community are
interdependent and united. Sanford-Brown succeeds only when we all
succeed.
