Association of Proprietary Colleges
Believe. Achieve. Succeed.
It’s Your Future:
Start Planning Now!
Success
is in your
future.
Think for a second. What do you want to be when
you grow up — a computer expert, a health care
professional or a graphic designer? How about
an advertising executive or a chef at a famous
restaurant? Not sure yet? That’s okay. Even if you
haven’t decided your career, it’s never too early to
start thinking about your future, and APC Colleges
are here to help.
APC is the Association of Proprietary Colleges.
We have 26 member colleges on 36 campuses
all across New York State. Many of our colleges
are family owned and have a long tradition of
serving the higher education needs of New York’s
students. We’re known by some very familiar
names, like the Art Institute of New York City,
Berkeley College, ITT Technical Institute, Bryant &
Stratton College, DeVry College of New York, LIM,
Monroe College and many more.
APC Colleges offer a range of targeted associate,
bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree
programs. We are accredited by national, state or
regional accrediting bodies of higher education.
Programs of study meet the same standards for
registration that apply to all of New York’s public
and independent colleges.
1
We offer degrees in more than 60 majors,
including accounting, graphic design, music,
medical assisting, business administration,
journalism, web and game design, nonprofit
management and much more.
APC Colleges connect New Yorkers to good jobs
and a stronger future. How? By offering academic
programs that best prepare students for the
realities of the workplace; by partnering with the
business community to ensure you graduate ready
to make an immediate and positive contribution;
and by being able to rapidly adjust our curriculum
to meet changing trends in the workplace.
Our colleges believe in you, and they prove it
every day by offering you a quality education from
faculty members who are experienced in the field,
not just the classroom. It means your education
will be relevant in the job markets of today and
tomorrow. You’ll enjoy small class sizes that
guarantee greater attention from your instructors,
great internships and classes on nights and
weekends. And you’ll benefit from the college’s
commitment to help you thrive in the classroom
and find employment after you graduate.
APC Colleges
will help get
you there.

Paying for College
For many young — and even adult — students, cost
can be a barrier to education. The administrative
staff at all APC Colleges work very hard to help you
maximize the many available grants, low-interest
loans and scholarships, making college much more
affordable than you ever thought. The following
web sites will also give you a jump start to find
your funding sources.
