See the catalog page for the requirements of the three PACS Focus Awards.
Course of Study
PACS courses may be taken on any PCC campus with credit being given for some courses completed elsewhere. Students considering an Associate of Science degree should take care to satisfy all requirements relating to their degree. PCC courses for which PACS credit is granted are transferable to most colleges and universities in the United States. Students who plan to transfer to a state college or university in Oregon are encouraged to complete sequences to satisfy General Education requirements. Prior to enrolling, students should consult the receiving college or university and a program advisor concerning the transferability of credits.
The course links below will take you directly to the term schedule (either the current term if registration is still active or the upcoming term). If the course is not offered that term, the schedule will say there are no results.
