Work. Kids. Life. College. Only 24 hours in a day. We know it’s not easy, so we created PACE.

PACE is a college program designed for busy adults that enables you to complete an Associate degree in about two years. PACE students take two courses every eight weeks. Most courses are offered either 100 percent online or in a hybrid format (part of the course is online but will also include some face-to-face meetings).

Ok, there’s actually a STEP FOUR. It’s optional, but we strongly recommend it:

FAFSA Step 4 Icon

Complete your FAFSA to see what financial aid you qualify for [Click Here]. Most of our students don’t pay any tuition. 

Even if you don’t qualify, our enrollment fees are very affordable at $46 per unit for CA residents (or about $1,380 per year).  If you need help filling out the FAFSA, contact us for assistance.
