About Career Bridge at Peirce College

Career Bridge prepares students with the skills, certifications and credentials needed for jobs that pay family-sustaining wages, and guides them to those jobs in less than a year.

Expanded Eligibility & Lower Tuition

We recently expanded our eligibility requirements so more students have access to the Career Bridge program. Scholarships* and new tuition discounts create a low-cost pathway for you to come back to college and prepare for professional advancement or career change. Tuition for certificates in the Career Bridge program is now $350 per credit, which is more than 40% less than our regular undergraduate tuition. And all the credits you earn stack directly to our degree programs.

Explore Our Career Tracks

Employer-recognized certifications are embedded into short, affordable Career Tracks to validate that you possess the skills and credentials employers want. You can also earn credit for professional and military training and skills gained through your job, which map to skills required for in-demand occupations that pay family-sustaining wages.
