PACE Program Pathway to Access College Early

“

I never thought filling out the short application would go such a long way in college. By having nearly my entire core list of classes finished before ever stepping foot on campus, it opened a huge realm of possibilities for additional majors or minors. In addition, it significantly opened up the possibilities for taking smaller class loads, or even graduating early.

”

~ Ross Weller, Class of 2015, Texas Christian University

“

I couldn’t be happier with the college credit program at Chaminade.

Because of this program, I was able to graduate a year early and that saved me a large amount of money. Taking college credit classes was essential to my Chaminade and college education.

I am so appreciative of the Dual Enrollment programs I took advantage of at Chaminade as well as the AP courses. I am basically entering college as a Sophomore with 36 credit hours complete. I attend the University of Georgia. Virtually none of the new students here have as many credit hours as me. This offers me such confidence as I work toward my degree.

From the parent point of view, I think anything that can get kids a step ahead when they reach college level, especially with the cost of university tuition today, is absolutely worthwhile and should be pursued.
