WELCOME TO THE PACE PROGRAM AT PIERCE COLLEGE
(Program for Accelerated College Education)
EARN YOUR AA DEGREE AND MEET YOUR TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS IN AS LITTLE AS TWO YEARS!

Most PACE classes meet one evening (6-8 and/or 8-10) and every other Saturday for 4 hours.  PACE classes meet transfer guidelines but are accelerated to fit into 8 week quarters instead of full 15 week semesters. The PACE program is designed to get you to earn your AA and be ready to transfer in two years by taking 10 classes every year.  The PACE program is an alternative for working people who want to get a college degree by attending classes in the evenings and on Saturday.  Academic standards and class workload are the same as in regular semester only compressed into 8 week quarters.

The PACE office is located in the set of buildings behind the Freudian Sip and the bookstore.  It is the 2800 building with a big red banner that says "MAKE IT HAPPEN."  Please visit this website often so that you can keep yourself up-to-date on the offerings and happenings in the PACE program here at Pierce College and at our off-campus locations.
