The Digital Bridge Academy (DBA) is an award winning program designed to accelerate students to successful full time college level performance in one semester in order to complete the students’ personal goals. The DBA is NOT a computer training program. The DBA offers a carefully sequenced training program of academic support, instruction on how to grow in self-knowledge and self-discipline, work experience, and student support to prepare students for success in careers with a future. These careers are in: Computer Information Systems, Engineering, Business, Management, Allied Health majors (Nursing, Radiology, Dental Hygiene, etc.,) lab technician careers (Biotechnology, Marine Science), Criminal Justice, Teaching, and other high-wage or high-demand fields.

The goals of the DBA are to help you in one semester:

  • become a successful college student
  • carry a full-time load of college-level courses
  • find a career with a future in a field that is right for you

The DBA will help you reassess your previous educational experiences, recognize your own and others' learning and interaction styles, and understand your true abilities and motivation profiles. The DBA will teach you how to work successfully in teams, which is required in many of these careers. You will learn to become an effective leader.

All of this is done in a fun and stimulating classroom environment where you get to know your classmates as true friends who will support you to meet your goals. In the first semester you will have six classes taught by five Cabrillo College Instructors. You and your classmates will take all your courses in the same classroom while the Instructors rotate in and out.

We invite you to come to an information session to find out more about the DBA and about how we can help you build a bridge to the future. Click here for Information Session schedule.
