The program is open to all active duty enlisted personnel, dependents, and civilians who are interested in improving their English and Math skills.&nbsp; Classes are limited to approximately 30 students per session and are held at the Base Education Center (BEC), Bldg 1331, Monday through Friday, 0730 \u2013 1600 for four weeks.&nbsp; Once students finish the course, they should see an improvement in their basic skills in English and Math and should be more competitive in today\u2019s military and civilian job markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Academic Skills Program is <strong>HIGHLY RECOMMENDED<\/strong> for all active-duty military students who want to use tuition assistance for the first time and could use a Math and English refresher. Many campuses assume that basic skills are in place and remedial\/refresher courses are not offered as separate classes. This noncredit class is open to the public. Priority and guaranteed admission are given to active-duty service members holding a GT score of 99 or less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Makes the Academic Skills Program Great? Ask its Founder!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Robert Mifflin<\/strong> has been one of our instructors for the Academic Skills Program (ASP) since he designed the math side of the class in 2005. His background includes generating hardware, software, and System on Chip designs for over 30 companies as a consultant. He holds a BSEE from UCI, MS in Bioengineering from UCSD, and worked on a Doctorate in materials for micro\/nanosystems in a DNA lab. When asked how he landed at Palomar his reply was \u201cpure serendipity\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI had enrolled as a Palomar student to refresh my Calculus skills before going back to graduate school. In addition to consulting and school, I volunteered to tutor math and science for Marines. One fine day I stopped to check in with my wonderful wife (a full-time math instructor at Palomar) at her office. She received a phone call while I was standing there and handed me the phone \u2013 which was a wee bit odd. It was from the Camp Pendleton BEC. They were trying to track down the volunteer \u201cmath guy\u201d as they wanted him to set up a math program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I have always enjoyed moving the world forward by designing devices and systems to improve the world. This was a new opportunity to reach 20 to 30 Marines at a time and the potential to change lives through a better understanding of math while I was prepping for grad school. I was fortunate in that I had access to first-class math instructors at Palomar to gather their best techniques. I then used the UCSD library to access research journals on optimal techniques for transferring knowledge to my students. In a typical class, we cover the complete Aufmann pre-algebra book in 2 to 3 weeks and then use the remaining time for tests and review.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This format works because Marines are constantly training as a way of life in their MOS. They are willing to work hard, execute assignments, and set aside their previous math experience while embracing new techniques. They are the absolute best students which makes the teaching fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extended Office Hours<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"493\" height=\"493\" data-id=\"10116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/camppendleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2026\/04\/CPPEN-BEC-SOI-1024x1024_optimized_500.png\" alt=\"Promotional flyer for Palomar College advertising extended office hours at the SOI Base Education Center.
