or take the next step up in your current job. Our courses are
thoroughly oriented to the real working world. We focus on the
development of technical proficiency in your field as well as the
overall professional approach expected in business, industrial or
medical environments.

offer sessions in the day or the evening--whichever suits you
best. You can work school around the other demands of your
life--whether it's your family, a job or other pursuits that are
important to you.
One of the many student-friendly features of Brown Mackie College
- Boise is our unique pace. Rather than juggle three classes
concurrently each quarter the way full-time students at
traditional colleges do, Brown Mackie students focus on one
course at a time. Each class is offered at an accelerated pace,
lasting one month. No switching gears between different subjects;
no pulling all-nighters to study for three or four final exams at
once. At the end of each month, you have another set of credits
under your belt and you're ready to move on to the next course.
Since each month offers a new start, there's no need to wait
until September or January for the beginning of a new semester.
This is just one more way that Brown Mackie College - Boise makes
itself compatible to the individual needs of our students.
Brown Mackie College Boise is accredited by the Accrediting
Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).
