Cal-Pacific students are enrolled in programs designed for the achievement of personal, professional and career goals. Maximum transfer credit is awarded to students entering the Cal-Pacific programs. Many of our students are returning to the academic experience after some years away from the classroom. This can be stressful because school is often remembered as an arbitrary, trying routine of theoretical lectures and perfunctory tests. These often seem far removed from real life and are punctuated by parking hassles, overcrowded classrooms and an unsympathetic bureaucracy and exorbitant tuition.
Many students graduate from traditional colleges owing enormous sums of money on student loans.
CPU believes that working adults have earned the right to leave this sort of treatment in the past. They are twenty-first century men and women who recognize the tremendous dollar savings afforded them by earning their degrees from CPU as compared to traditional classroom based instruction. Each program contains courses which are broken down into the appropriate number of lessons to properly teach each course. Students take one course at a time and proceed through the program on a course by course basis. The CPU student receives the benefits of the best aspects of traditional education, but in a nontraditional mode sensitive to the needs of the adult learner and respectful of that which the student brings to the program experientially.
