College doesn't have to be a juggling act.

One of the many student-friendly features of Brown Mackie College - Tucson 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.

Since each month offers a new start, there's no need to wait until September or January for the beginning of a new semester. This is just one more way that Brown Mackie College - Tucson makes itself compatible to the individual needs of our students.
