Concorde Career College-Aurora

What is the accreditation of Concorde Career College-Aurora?

Concorde Career College-Aurora is institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). Institutional accreditation evaluates the school as an institution; it should not be confused with accreditation or approval of an individual health care program.

Programmatic accreditation and state approval can matter separately, especially when a graduate intends to seek a professional license or certification. Applicants should verify the current status of their specific Aurora program with the relevant accreditor and Colorado licensing authority before enrolling. They should also confirm that the credential meets requirements in any other state where they hope to work.

Institutional accreditation is relevant to eligibility for federal student aid, but aid also depends on the institution's and student's eligibility and the particular program. It does not require another college to accept Concorde credits; receiving institutions decide transfer credit under their own policies.

What are the admission requirements at Concorde Career College-Aurora?

Admission to Concorde Career College-Aurora is not open admission. Applicants should expect to document completion of high school or an equivalent credential, provide a secondary-school record, and complete the campus's admissions process. Requirements can differ by program.

Reported admissions criteria do not call for SAT or ACT scores, a high school class rank, recommendations, or completion of a college-preparatory curriculum. A separate admissions assessment is listed as required, so applicants should ask which assessment their chosen program uses, whether a minimum score applies, and whether retesting is allowed. Nursing and other clinical programs may impose additional selection or participation requirements.

In the reported first-time applicant group, the college admitted 218 of 241 applicants - approximately 90%. That institution-level rate is not a prediction of admission to a particular program or start date. Applicants should obtain the current program checklist and deadline before arranging transcripts or testing.

What are the application fees and waivers at Concorde Career College-Aurora?

The reported application fee for Concorde Career College-Aurora is $100. Applicants should verify the amount with admissions before paying because fees can change and a program or application route may have different instructions.

Ask whether the charge is an application fee or a later enrollment-related payment, whether it is refundable, and whether a waiver is available for financial hardship or another qualifying circumstance. Anyone seeking a waiver should request approval before submitting payment; an assumption that a waiver will be granted is not a substitute for written confirmation.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Concorde Career College-Aurora?

Concorde Career College-Aurora is not identified as operating an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit on its campus. Applicants should not assume that enrollment at a nearby college's ROTC detachment is available to Concorde students.

ROTC participation through another institution requires confirmation from the host unit and attention to its enrollment, scholarship, and military-service rules. Students interested primarily in a commission should ask a prospective host detachment whether their Concorde program and enrollment status qualify before making an education plan around ROTC.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Concorde Career College-Aurora?

Transfer admission and transfer-credit acceptance are separate questions at Concorde Career College-Aurora. A student with previous college work may be considered for admission without every prior course being accepted toward the chosen health care program.

Applicants seeking credit should provide official transcripts and request a program-specific, written credit evaluation before enrolling. They should ask whether a course must match Concorde's content, credit hours, grade threshold, or recency rules - particularly for science and clinical subjects - and whether any minimum portion of the program must be completed at Concorde. Reported admissions information indicates that Advanced Placement credit may be accepted, while dual credit and credit for life experience are not accepted; the applicability of any accepted credit still depends on the program.

Students planning to transfer out later should contact the prospective receiving college directly. Concorde's accreditation does not guarantee that another institution will apply its courses to a degree.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Concorde Career College-Aurora?

Concorde Career College-Aurora should not be approached as a conventional study-abroad destination. Its health care programs are oriented toward defined coursework and, where required, local hands-on or clinical training rather than a semester-long international curriculum.

Students who hope to complete an overseas course or experience should seek written approval before making plans. They would need to establish whether the activity meets program, clinical, credit-transfer, and financial-aid requirements; an independently arranged trip should not be assumed to count toward graduation.
