[edit] Merger of career college
- Merge: I think that the career college can be mentioned in one or two sentences in the vocational school article as an alternate name for the same concept. career college would then redirect to vocational school or perhaps a vocational school#Career college section if one were to exist. —Optikos 16:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I think this was not a good idea. A vocational school and a career college are two distinct educational institutions. A vocational school does not grant Bachelor's degrees, nor teach classes in subjects beyond the vocational skills being taught. Whereas a career college that grants degrees does require classes in humanities and liberal arts, just to a much lesser degree than a liberal arts college does. I don't know how to "un" merge topics though.--StevenBradford 04:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Vocational schools are secondary level schools (ages 16-20, instead of high school), while "career colleges" are tertiary (18-22, after high school). --Vuo 10:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Opposed How do we go about seperating "career colleges" out from Vocational Schools again? A career college and vocational school are distinctly different institutions.
