Weekend College Program

Registration is underway for Palo Alto College’s Weekend College Program, scheduled to begin Sept. 8.

The program allows for the completion of an Associate of Arts or Science degree in 36 months completely on the weekends and via the Internet. The program is designed specifically for working adults juggling the demands of a career and family.

The program is for working adults who have always wanted a college degree, but their work schedule doesn’t permit the completion of a degree during the day, or via traditional evening classes. It also offers opportunities for personal and cultural enrichment, as well as development of specialized skills designed to improve vocational possibilities.

Classes meet every other Saturday, and students are eligible to take two courses during a semester. Classes run from 9 a.m. to noon, and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The same friendly atmosphere, spirit of mutual support, and open exchange of ideas that characterizes our traditional college curriculum can also be found in our weekend program. To help students succeed, a range of services from academic advising, financial aid and library services will also be provided.
