Yes I think you are right.........

The College was originally established in 1967 as the Commercial Diving Center at

the Port of Los Angeles in Wilmington and later was renamed the College of

Oceaneering in 1973 when it was purchased by Oceaneering International.

In 2002, the College was purchased by National University and now is a non-profit

organization and a member of the National University System.

Also in 2002, the College opened a second campus in San Diego, California.

 

In 2004, recognizing the growing demands of the marine technology field, the

College revised its mission and changed its name from the College of Oceaneering to

National Polytechnic College of Engineering and Oceaneering.

 

In April of 2005 the College opened a third campus in Honolulu, Hawaii and offers the marine technology (commercial diving) program.

Individuals interested in the College’s previous programs should contact National University Polytechnic Institute.

Former National Polytechnic College of Science students can contact National University for assistance with transcripts and student account information.

I am Not a fan of them being bought out and the names changes over and over again..... I called the 800 number and the number is still good...but like you so well I think it may be done

 

I know that in the last few years divers have tried to use their lifetime job placement service and got no real assistance.

 

I tried to use the job placement in the late 90s and all I got was a current list of contractors that I could have gotten from ADC or other sources.
