Indiana Black Expo A Success For Harrison College

Monday, July 20, 2009 by Christina Bleeke
Hello everyone. Thank you to all of you who came out to see us this weekend at the Indiana Black Expo Career and Education Fair and Summer Celebration. It was a great weekend for Harrison College and we generated a lot of interest in our college.

This weekend there were many people who asked if Harrison College was new to Indianapolis which gave us an opportunity to let people know about our name change.  Harrison College was formerly Indiana Business College; the name change occurred in May.   The reason for the name change is that we now offer more degree programs than just in Business.  We have 5 schools: Health Sciences, Criminal Justice, Information Technology, Veterinary Technology, and Business.  We now offer Degrees in health care management, surgical technology degrees, veterinary technology training, and more.  Because of our growth and expansion we had out grown the name Indiana Business College.

We also had many questions about a physical therapy program. While we do not have a physical therapy program we do offer a therapeutic and clinical massage program.

Thank you again to all of you who came out to the Indiana Black Expo this weekend. If you would like more information on Harrison College you can visit our website at www.harrison.edu.
