Carrington College California was originally founded as Northwest College of Medical Assistants in 1967 in Sacramento, California. In 1983, the college was purchased by the Education Corporation of America (EdCOA) which, in turn, was acquired by U.S. Education Corporation in 2003. In 2008, DeVry Inc., a global provider of educational services, acquired U.S. Educatio Corporation. As the programs they offered extended beyond the world of healthcare, they became known as Western Career College and remained so until 2010.
The mission of Carrington College is to provide career-focused baccalaureate degree, associate degree, and certificate programs
in healthcare, trades, and industrial majors to a diverse population of students.
Carrington College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.
Carrington College maintains ground campuses at its main located in Sacramento, CA and sixteen other locations in California.
