SAN MARCOS – Palomar College is one of the nation's top colleges when it comes to helping minority students earn their associate degrees, a recently published study has found. The study by Diverse places Palomar Collage 73rd out of the top 100 higher education institutions in the category.

"Palomar College is committed to helping all students succeed in their educational journeys. This report indicates that Palomar is serving the entire community and driving educational diversity in the region," Dr. Jack Kahn, acting superintendent and president, said.
