The San Diego College of Continuing Education's career training programs alone contribute a quarter-billion dollars to the San Diego regional economy each year. San Diego College of Continuing Education was one of the first noncredit institutions in the U.S. to be separately accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), recognized for its impactful community presence, innovative programs, and commitment to transforming lives through accessible education and career pathways.
