This designation positions the District to receive an estimated minimum of $2.2 million in future funding once the Center enrolls 1,000 Full-time Equivalent Students.\u00a0 This annual funding provides a substantial opportunity to address the diverse needs of students in the most southern portion of the Palomar Community College District.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApproval of the Education Center reinforces our commitment to providing comprehensive educational opportunities\u00a0that support student success,\u201d said Michelle Barton, Senior Director of Planning, Research, Institutional Effectiveness, and Grants at Palomar College. \u201cThe additional funding will further our efforts to enhance the Rancho Bernardo Education Center and expand its academic programs and student services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a significant achievement for Palomar College. This is a result of our extensive focus on enrollment growth and a strategic initiative to offer programs in Rancho Bernardo that are responsive to the needs of significant industries in our region,\u201d said Superintendent\/President Dr. Star Rivera-Lacey.<\/p>\n<p>The Rancho Bernardo Education Center located at 11111 Rancho Bernardo Road, joins the Palomar College Education Center in Escondido as a state-approved center. Palomar College also has education centers in Fallbrook and at Camp Pendleton.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to its opening in 2018, the multi-level Rancho Bernardo Education Center was remodeled using funds from the Proposition M bond measure passed by voters in 2006. Its programs are guided by STEM \u2013 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The center also houses programs in architecture, architectural drafting, fashion merchandise and design, interior design, mathematics, and pre-allied health.<\/p>\n<p>It also offers a wide range of courses for students to pursue an associate degree, general education requirements for transfer, occupational skills, or personal development courses.
