Our Programs
Pierce College combines the benefits of small class sizes common to small private universities with the lower tuition cost of a public school.
International students come to Pierce College from all over the world for studies in our Intensive English Program, University Transfer Programs, Professional/Technical Programs, and High School Completion, all taught by our outstanding faculty. Small class sizes, typically from 15 to 20 students, make it easy for instructors to spend time with individual students. Our instructors all hold master’s degrees in their fields, and many have doctorates.
Pierce College emphasizes five core abilities in every class. These abilities prepare our students for future employment, whether they continue on to a university or get a job after earning a degree. The abilities are:
- critical thinking
- effective communication
- information competency
- multiculturalism
- responsibility
