Welcome to PACE

PACE (Program for Accelerated College Education) is a two-year program offered at Pierce College and other locations designed to provide our students the ability to graduate in approximately two years.  Most of our classes meet one evening a week for two hours and every other Saturday for four hours; our semesters are eight weeks and there are five semesters in a school year, two in the fall and two in the spring and one over the summer.

The main idea of PACE is for you to be able to know exactly the classes you need to graduate and then transfer to a four-year university.  We offer various educational paths for you to choose from. If you are curious about the program and would like more infomration, click on this link.

PACE offers a variety of services that are free.  These services may include counseling; academic advisement and general help with registration, assessment and enrolling in classes.  The PACE office staff is here to serve our students.  Our offices are located in the Village 8340 building.  Look for our sign in front of our building in bright red, “Make it Happen”.

We wish you to have a most enjoyable educational experience.

Thank you for choosing PACE.
