ASA-The College for Excellence

ASA-The College for Excellence is a for-profit higher education institution founded in 1985. Previously known as "Advanced Software Analysis, the first class consisted of only 12 students. The school originally focused specifically on mainframe computer programming because New York was suffering from a shortage of qualified computer programmers. Today, the college has two campuses in Brooklyn and Manhattan. ASA offers 2-year degrees and certificates in business administration, health disciplines, criminal justice and computer technology. ASA now has more than 5,000 students and 16 programs of study.

ASA is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Programs, and the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. ASA is approved by the New York State Education Department.
