Hello Everyone!
This Spring 2024 semester, we will continue to offer some of our in-person classes at our CDA Campus in Pasadena, CA.
To help ensure a safe learning environment for everyone, we highly recommend all students enrolled in the "in-person" classes wear a surgical mask for indoor class sessions in the building. Thanks for your understanding.
Besides the in-person classes, we will continue to offer our online courses as options as well so our out-of-state and international students can continue to study with us in the future.
We would like to thank you all for your support over the years and are looking forward to continuing serving your educational and portfolio-building needs in the future~!
