While the Rancho Bernardo Education Center<\/strong> (RBEC) offers a comprehensive set of courses, including General Education classes, Palomar College also provides a set of structured, guided pathways, otherwise known as meta-majors.  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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rancho Bernardo Education Center offers academic pathway programs for the Associate Degree for Transfer (AS-T) in Mathematics<\/strong> and the Biology Pre-Allied Health<\/strong> Associate Degree.  Students at our center will be able to complete most of the classes associated with these degrees through a combination of face-to-face and online offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rancho Bernardo Education Center also offers a variety of academic programs in areas targeting trade and industry.  An Associate\u2019s Degree in Science or a Certificate of Achievement can be earned in Architecture<\/strong>, Architectural Drafting<\/strong>, Interior Design<\/strong>, Fashion Design<\/strong>, Fashion Merchandising <\/strong>and Fashion: Visual Merchandising<\/strong>.  The Bachelor of Science in Building Performance Environmental Design<\/strong> (BPED)<\/strong> program initiates Fall 2026 and is open for interested applicants.  Learn more<\/a> about the bachelor\u2019s degree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 or opting for courses that meet for 8 weeks instead of 16 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rancho Bernardo Education Center may change academic programs over time based upon demand and popularity of industry trends and gainful employment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
