San Diego Golf Academy — Go to Golf College For a Golf Career

Golf Instructor If the sport of golf is your passion in life, you need to consider attending the San Diego Golf Academy.  Through programs of study at the San Diego Golf Academy (SDGA), you will gain both practical experience and a thorough understanding of the golf business.  Graduates of SDGA can turn their love of golf into life-long careers.

San Diego Golf Academy has been in operation for over 30 years.  SDGA placement directors find a great majority of their over 6000 graduates in a golf career, procuring jobs in the golf industry.  SDGA even has a unique online program called GolFutures.  This is a nationwide resource for jobs in the golf industry which SDGA has been operating since 1991.  So, not only do graduates have access to excellent career counseling, but alumni can also utilize GolFutures as they advance their careers in the golf industry.

While the SDGA does not guarantee job placement for graduates, the golf college does have an incredibly high job placement rate.  Job counselors assist graduates in writing resumes and preparing for interviews.  Faculty members at SDGA are also willing to serve as references for students and to write recommendations to help students obtain jobs.   And, they are successful in finding jobs in the golf industry for nearly 90% of their graduates within 6 months of graduation.

There are four campus locations of the SDGA.  These are located in California, Arizona, Florida, and South Carolina.  Tuition is about $28,000.  But, financial aid is available for students, just as it is for other colleges and schools.  The SDGA Financial Aid office can assist students in applying for financial assistance.  Students may be eligible for grants and loans.

Students at SDGA major in Golf Complex Operations & Management.  But, students can opt to focus their studies on either the Golf Professional courses or the Golf Management courses-or, they can have a dual emphasis.  No matter what area of focus a student chooses, the program is still the same in length.  Students graduate after 2 years, or 16 consecutive months, with an Associate Degree.

Unlike many golf schools, SDGA doesn't stop at offering students the opportunity to earn an Associates Degree.   Students can continue their education through a partnership SDGA has formed with Virginia College.  Through this program, students can earn a Bachelor's Degree in Golf Course Management within 2 years.  And, what's great about this program is that students can earn this degree while they are working in the golf industry because the Virginia College program is online.

SDGA is a fully accredited college by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).  This means that the SDGA is authorized to award Associate Degrees and that the degrees given by the SDGA will be nationally recognized as authentic.  

Beginning a career in the golf industry is ideal for anyone who has a strong love of the sport.  And attending the San Diego Golf Academy is the perfect way to get the necessary education to get hired.  SDGA has everything a person needs-and more.
