Program for Accelerated College Education
Students who have completed their lower-division general education requirements may elect to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) in Liberal Studies or Human Development, or a Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) in Recreation, via the Program for Accelerated College Education (PACE), an upper-division program of instruction in formats convenient for working individuals. The scheduling of classes on one or two nights per week and Saturdays, and the use of course materials on video or online enable students to combine their studies with the demands of full-time employment or other daytime responsibilities. Human Development and Recreation offer many courses in an online format. For more information, see "PACE" in the "Undergraduate Programs" section. Also, call the PACE office at (510) 885-PACE (7223).
