Welcome to Forrest College
Forrest College is located at 601 E. River Street in Anderson, SC, just minutes away from the downtown area. The institution offers an associate degree program with nine areas of specialization, as well as a number of diploma programs. The College is different from traditional colleges in a number of ways. Our classes are small. Consequently, our students receive more individualized instruction and attention. Age is not relevant at FC, with students ranging from the teens (right out of high school) through the seventies. Many of our students are married and have families; others are single and/or single parents. Most have obligations and/or jobs in addition to attending classes. These students from all walks of life share the desire to increase their opportunities for a better life through education. Whether our students intend to go on to a four-year institution, plan to use their new skills to advance in their work place, or want to begin new careers, they find the friendly College staff and faculty to be supportive of their goals.
The Forrest College Childcare Area celebrated the Easter holiday with festive eggs hunts. The entire FC community was invited to join in and the attendance was wonderful! There was an egg hunt for the younger children on the playground and an egg hunt for the older children in the nearby field at the College. After the egg hunt, everyone was invited to enjoy a hotdog lunch and socialize. Lots of fun was had by all! Thank you to the parents and volunteers who worked to make this event a success!

"I am currently in the last quarter of classes to earn my Associate in Science Degree in Medical Assisting. While doing my externship at Anderson Family Care, I was offered a medical assisting job, which will start next month. Forrest College really helped to prepare me for the type of work that I will be doing out on the job. I received the education and training to do various procedures, such as administering an EKG or taking vitals, in my classes at FC, so that I would be prepared to get a job in the medical assisting field. I am applying what I have learned in my classes while doing my externship, and thankfully, my education and externship performance led to a full-time job. Upon completion of my externship, I plan to take my certification exam to become a Certified Medical Assistant(CMA). I feel very blessed that I was able to get a full-time position in Dr. Dbouk's office and can't wait to start my professional career as a medical assistant! Thank you Forrest College!"

“I am currently taking an ethics class that is taught by Mr. Rivers. When the subject of ethics comes to mind, you may only think of morality. I had not presumed the depth or the importance of the subject, until I realized that ethics covers human nature, good versus bad, and right versus wrong. Mr. Rivers explains to us how, as humans, we tend to make exceptions to the existing rules. Also, he encourages us to carefully consider situations from both sides of an issue and break down any decisions we make into a set of rules that we can use to logically alter our decisions for the best outcome. I find that Mr. Rivers’ approach to teaching this class is exceptionally interesting. We have class discussions on issues such as death and dying, abortion, lying, stealing, and other moral dilemmas. Mr. Rivers welcomes input from his students and has a way of tastefully breaking down the facts on these very serious topics. When asked what he wants to accomplish in his ethics class, Mr. Rivers stated that he “hopes to bring to life some of the experiences of the real world into the classroom and sincerely hopes to give us some aspect of life.” I highly recommend this ethics class to anyone who has yet to take it.”
