• How do I pay for college?

• Are evening and online classes available?
  • Yes! Many classes are offered in the evenings, online, or hybrid to accommodate the needs of working students.
• How do I enroll?

• How much time do I need to commit?
  • A full load of college classes (4 classes, 12 units) is like a full-time job, and will take 30-40 hours of time per week. Enrolling part-time can reduce this load, but it will take longer to complete a program.
