Palomar College offers more than 250 Associates Degree and certificate programs, as well as not-for-credit community development and personal enrichment classes for life-long learning.

In fact, Palomar students who transfer perform better in their first year at a four-year college than students from other community colleges. Our five academic divisions are: Arts, Media, business and Computer Systems; Career, Technical and Extended Education; Languages and Literature; Mathematics and The Natural and Health Sciences; and Social and Behavioral Sciences.
