both traditional and non-traditional students. The city of Long
Beach offers a wide variety of multicultural art, design and
musical activities, outdoor recreation, and active nightlife. We
couldn't offer the depth and sophistication of our academics and

these industries for teaching and gain direct access to their
environments for our students. Brooks College Long Beach offers
degree programs that are designed to help students reach their
career goals. Our academic programs are evaluated and updated
regularly to provide our students with the most current information
available in the workplace today. Changes in the curriculum are
initiated by changes in the industry and we work with employers and
professional organizations to maintain the most relevant curriculum
possible. Instructional groups are limited in size in order to
encourage participation and creative growth, and to promote dynamic
discussion within the classroom. Plus, the small class sizes allow
each student to receive the individual attention they deserve. Our
