Heald College is more than just another career college.

We are a regionally accredited, private career college that has been preparing students for rewarding careers in Healthcare, Business, Legal and Technology for over 145 years.

Heald is regionally accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. That's a quality certification that must be earned and that not every college gets. It makes us proud and makes your Heald education more valuable. It also allows us to have articulation agreements with other regionally accredited institutions that accept Heald credits toward bachelor’s degree programs.

Perhaps the most important thing that sets Heald apart is that we've been around for over 145 years. We're not new to career education. We started with one campus in San Francisco, back in 1863, and we've expanded to 11 campuses across the western United States: Concord, Fresno, Hayward, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Salinas, San Francisco, San Jose, Stockton, Honolulu and Portland. That's intelligent growth, one student at a time.
