Drawing from its multicultural surroundings and its globalized curriculum, Forest Park’s student body is the definitive diverse population with students hailing from 70 different countries and speaking 80 different languages. 

Forest Park has taken the lead in preparing students for careers in the high-tech field of advanced computer networking through its campus Center of Excellence, Advanced Network Training Center.  The center is a certified Cisco Academy, which prepares students for certification exams such as Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) and Cisco Certified Network Professional.  As a regional Cisco Academy, the center also trains professionals to teach CCNA programs. 

The campus is surrounded by major health centers, and as such is one of the area’s largest providers of trained allied health professionals in fields such as mammography, polysomnography and pharmacy tech. 

In 2003, the campus opened the Jack E. Miller Hospitality Studies Center. Enrollment has consistently reached capacity for day, evening and weekend classes. A new degree program in baking and pastries is being added to the current offerings.
