Collins College is a private, for-profit college that specializes in the fields of visual arts and design. Owned by parent company, Career Education Corporation, Collins College has two campuses and many sister schools across the United States. The main campus is located in southeast Phoenix, with a smaller branch campus located in west Phoenix. Collins College students can earn a Bachelor’s or Associate's degree in a variety of programs, including Graphic Design, Game Design, Interior Design, Visual Art, and Film and Television Production. In 1978, Al and Florence Collins founded Al Collins Graphic Design School. The school opened in Phoenix to a small group of students. Starting with a small evening program, in the early '80s day classes were later added and larger facilities were obtained. In 1982, the school became accredited by the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (NATTS). In 1985 the school moved to a larger campus in Tempe due to continued growth in its student population. The following year, a Computer Graphics program was added.
