Things To Do In NYC For The Holidays

Bramson ORT College

(718) 261-5800 / (718) 259-5300

Bramson ORT College is a technical college that is located in the Metropolitan New York area. With campuses in both Brooklyn and Queens, we offer several academic programs for students who wish to excel in a career such as an accountant, medical assistant or paralegal - but those are just a few of the opportunities we offer!

At Bramson ORT College, part of our mission stems from our desire to remain closely knit with the surrounding community. That being said, we encourage all of our students to take advantage of community events and offerings both in and out of an educational setting.

This month, we'd like to offer our students a few ways that they can indulge in New York City culture while celebrating the holidays with family and friends; see below:

1. Rockefeller Center: Christmas in New York City wouldn't be the same without the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. If you've yet to visit, the tree will be lit until 8:00 PM on January 7, 2015, so be sure to stop by!

2. Bryant Park: Ice skating at your home ice rink is one thing, but ice skating in Bryant Park is another! Admission for this event is free; your only cost is skate rentals, locks and bag checks.

3. Radio City Christmas Show: Would you like to see the rockettes live and up close? Check out the Radio City Christmas Show at Radio Music Hall!

4. The Nutcracker: If you've grown up with the nutcracker as one of your favorite holiday stories, check out the live version at Lincoln Center!

5. FAO Schwarz: A New York City icon, FAO Schwarz is a great place to visit around the holidays; even if it's just to look at the displays!

Medical Assistant Degree Specifics

Are you interested in a career in the medical field but aren't sure which path to take? Since the medical industry proves to be one of the fastest growing industries of our time, new positions are constantly being developed in order for medical institutions to fulfill all of their duties. For students who are interested in continuing their education, we recommend a degree in the medical field since career opportunities are continuing to grow even when the job market is becoming increasingly competitive for college graduates.

Specifically, the need for medical assistants has grown at an exponential rate. At Bramson ORT College, we're proud to offer an exceptional medical assistant program that after completion our students can pursue a career as an Ultrasound Technician, Radiology Technician, Registered Nurse or Physician's Assistant. If any of these professions are of interest of you, see below for some of our program specifics:

• Program Length: 60 credits
• Degree: Medical Assistant Associate Degree
• Campus: Queens or Brooklyn
• Department: Medical and Natural Sciences
• Admissions Requirements: High School Diploma or GED

Program participants will be introduced to topics such as medical billing and coding, medical transcription, clinical procedures, laboratory procedures and more. Furthermore, all students are required to complete an internship where they are given a hands-on opportunity to experience all that will be required of them upon entering the field.

How To Have A Successful Start To The Semester

Are you a first time college student that recently completed their first day of classes? In honor of opening our doors to all students this past Sunday, October 5, for the first day of the fall semester, we would like to offer some tips to help you have a successful start to the semester! See below:

1. First impressions matter! Whether you're in a class with 20 students or 200 students, your professor will be analyzing how you present yourself at the start of the semester. To make a lasting impression, we recommend arriving early, paying close attention and participating as much as possible.
2. Know your schedule before you arrive to school. It's always better to be early, so plan accordingly to battle the parking lot traffic that may ensue and give yourself adequate time to find your classroom.
3. Always come prepared. Students often assume that they won't need to take notes or participate in a formal lesson during the first few days, but it's always a good idea to have a pen and paper just in case.

If this is your first semester with us, we encourage you to stop by one of our offices to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the transition into the new school year when you arrive.

And just a reminder! Registration for fall classes is open until Sunday, October 12, so be sure to register as soon as possible to solidify your spot in the classes you need. For more information on registration, visit us at www.bramsonort.edu or contact us at (718) 261-5800 for our Queens campus or (718) 259-5300 for our Brooklyn campus today!
