Educational Formula
Our educational formula is founded on success and career development. Thousands of men and women who have attended Ranken since 1907 have earned certificates, diplomas and degrees. Others have taken advantage of Ranken’s courses to update their skills, becoming more valuable employees and personally more marketable. The formula for a student’s success is based upon three equal components:
- Technical education—The technical component consists of the theoretical and practical application of modern technology in any of several programs.
- General education—The general education component assists students in developing strong communication skills, scientific and mathematical reasoning, computer literacy, an understanding of business, and an appreciation of the individual’s role in society—all of which prepare students for career advancement.
- Work ethic—Ranken treats students as professionals from day one. The work ethic component exposes students to the values, attitudes and behaviors sought by current employers—the qualities that are likely to lead to successful careers.
These three components are the primary reasons for student success. They explain why employers continue to seek out Ranken graduates year after year.
