The second branch of the school, in Miami, began operations in June 1997.[2] In the same year, the Institute of Specialized Training and Management, Inc was approved to offer associate degrees and renamed itself to City College, becoming an Orlando affiliate of the main City College school.[3][4] The third branch of the school, in Hollywood FL, began operations in August 2011. The campus offers associate degree programs in emergency medical services, allied health and business.

Campuses
Originally located on Cypress Creek Road, the main campus of City College was moved to its current location in 2005, after the school purchased the Atrium 2000 office building in 2004 for $11.2 million.[6][7] Housed on 9 acres (36,000 m2) of land, the two-story building spans 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2).[8] The Gainesville campus is housed in a 21,200-square-foot (1,970 m2) single-story building near downtown Gainesville with a separate 10,000 sq. ft. classroom location for the veterinary technology lab facilities. The Miami branch is housed in approximately 24,000 square feet (2,200 m2) of two buildings in Dadeland Towers office park. The Hollywood campus occupies approximately 16,500 sq. ft. on the second and third floors of 6565 Taft St. Hollywood FL.[8]
All four campuses have special working laboratories to allow students to get hands on experience in their respective fields of study.[8] The school does not offer on-campus housing at any of its locations.[9]
Orlando affiliate
City College Orlando is an affiliate campus of City College. It was originally established in December 1988 as the Institute of Specialized Training & Management, Inc. (ISTM), a school specializing in the education and career development of independent
As an affiliate, the school has a separate director and board of directors from the other City College campuses,[10] but otherwise has a similar structure and course offerings,[1][11] the same mission,[12][13] and similar education guidelines.[10]
Student life
City college does not offer organized student activities and has no sports teams, feeling that their students are attending the school "to learn job skills and many are involved with their own families and organizations". Students are allowed to form their own organizations, with faculty sponsorship and approval of the director. The school currently has four student organizations: Allied Health Student Association, the Broadcast Student Association (only for students at the Fort Lauderdale campus), the City College Ambassadors, and the Private Investigator Student Association.[14]
Accreditation
In 2017, all City College campuses were awarded initial, institutional accreditation by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES).[15] City College was formerly accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) to award certificates, diplomas, and associate degrees.
