Accelerated College Program
The San Diego Community College District's Accelerated College Program was established in 1963 by Dr. Robert Heilbron, President of Mesa College, in response to the need expressed by parents, advanced students, and high school administrators for academic work in political science and mathematics to augment the curriculum of the secondary schools. Today, the Accelerated College Program continues to offers classes at San Diego high schools taught by Mesa College faculty members. High school students may enroll in political science and/or mathematics and earn transferable college credit without leaving their high school campuses. Our enrollment of approximately 800 students provides evidence of the continuing need in our community for high quality college-credit courses provided by academic specialists to accelerated students in San Diego's high schools.
