Heald has a long and rich history in career education. In 1863, we started with one campus in San Francisco and we've expanded to 12 campuses across the western United States: Concord, Fresno, Hayward, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Salinas, San Francisco, San Jose, Stockton, Honolulu, Portland and Modesto.

Our education philosophy is simple: We succeed when our students succeed.

Unlike other career colleges, earning an associate degree at Heald is much more than just skill training. Our education philosophy is to provide our students with the resources necessary to become well-rounded, highly motivated, qualified candidates for their career.

In addition to taking courses in their chosen program area, our students study contemporary literature and culture, ethical practices and personal and social responsibility. We also help them develop confidence, leadership abilities, collaboration techniques and communication skills. While employers are eager to find employees with technical proficiency, these 'soft' skills are extremely important in a professional environment.
