Feylin Cilley
Savini program · Class of ’25
I fell in love with the campus and atmosphere from my first visit. The sense of community was amazing, and everyone was supportive of what I wanted to do. Douglas opened my eyes to what the industry is really about and gave me opportunities I wouldn’t have had anywhere else.
Lorie Planinsek
Esthetics program · Class of ’26
Absolutely do it. Douglas has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and I felt supported the whole time I was there. I couldn’t wait to go to school every day, and the program prepared me for what comes next.
Sloane Ren
Film program · Class of ’26
I knew a traditional college wasn’t for me, and Douglas was everything I was hoping it would be. We learned what it’s actually like to work in the industry and built connections that continue to help me today. This was the first time in my education that I felt like I was where I was supposed to be.
Barry Shoaf
CDL Program · Class of ’25
If you need a CDL, Douglas Education Center is the place to go. From helping me secure grant funding to guiding me through the entire process, everyone did their job and made the experience smooth. It was everything I expected and more.
