One of the many student-friendly features of Brown Mackie College - South Bend is our unique pace. Rather than juggle three classes concurrently each quarter the way full-time students at traditional colleges do, Brown Mackie students focus on one course at a time. Each class is offered at an accelerated pace, lasting one month. No switching gears between different subjects; no pulling all-nighters to study for three or four final exams at once. At the end of each month, you have another set of credits under your belt and you're ready to move on to the next course.

You can start taking classes as soon as you're ready.
