Palomar College has grouped degree and certificate programs together in categories to help students select the right Palomar Pathway. Palomar Pathways are designed to help you choose your path to an Associate degree, certificate, transfer to a 4-year institution, or gain the skills you need to start your career. Select one of the career and transfer pathways to access resources to help you stay on track with your educational journey.
The Palomar Pathways Mapper allows you to review certificate and degree program maps that show you the semester by semester course plan from start to finish. You can view information on occupations, careers, salaries, and the demand for workers in your chosen field. The maps represent one possible pathway to completion. Please see a counselor to create a personalized education plan to meet your needs.
Center Academic Programs
While the Fallbrook Education Center (FEC) offers a comprehensive set of courses, including General Education classes, Palomar College also provides a set of structured guided pathways. These career pathways, or clusters, define a roadmap for college success by laying out courses semester by semester and taking much of the guesswork out of obtaining a degree or certificate.
The Fallbrook Education Center offers the Associate Degree for Transfer (AD-T) in both Psychology and Sociology, targeting focused transfer options. Students at our center will be able to complete 100% of the classes associated with this AD-T through a combination of face-to-face and online offerings. An Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement can be earned in Fire Technology – General as you train to meet the requirements mandated by the California Office of State Fire Marshal for Certified Fire Fighter I. You can also earn an Associate Degree in Administration of Justice – General while preparing prepares for a career in the criminal justice system or private security services.
With the Associate Teacher Certificate of Achievement, you can complete all your coursework for the Associate Teacher permit in 16 weeks! The program requires four, 4-week hybrid courses, scheduled one night a week and online. We also offer a Certificate of Proficiency in EMT-Basic. This three-course program prepares you for the National Registry EMT-B written and skills practical exam.
By scheduling nearly all classes at the center according to consistent blocks of time, Palomar College hopes to make it easier for busy students to take a number of courses on a Monday/Wednesday OR a Tuesday/Thursday schedule. Other flexible scheduling options may also be available such as meeting one day a week, enrolling in courses that are offered partially online, or opting for courses that meet for 8 weeks instead of 16 weeks.
The Fallbrook Education Center may change academic programs over time based upon demand and popularity of industry trends and gainful employment opportunities.
