PACC courses are real college courses WITH PURPOSE - they will earn you college credit.  Your high school teacher and a UW-Parkside faculty member work together to develop these college-level courses within your high school. These courses are the same as those available at the UW-Parkside campus, and are therefore eligible for credit transfer between other UW schools.
