SELECTING A PROGRAM
MCC has over 60 different degree and certificate programs: Our Associate
in Arts (A.A.) and Associate
in Science (A.S.) degree programs are designed to give you the first
two years of a bachelor's degree. If you intend to transfer to a four-year
college or university, you will be best prepared with these programs.
An Associate
in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree program is designed to prepare
you for a career immediately after you graduate from MCC. Generally, students
in A.A.S. programs are trained at the technician level, though many A.A.S.
graduates transfer to complete a bachelors degree. MCC also offers Certificate
programs that take one to two years to complete. If you want to update
your skills or quickly acquire new ones for a particular field, you should
investigate our Certificate programs.
2+2 COOPERATIVE
PROGRAMS
With one application, you can be accepted at MCC and one of the four-year
colleges and universities listed on the "2
+ 2" Degree Programs web page.
"2 + 2" Degree Programs are cooperative programs of study offered
by Monroe Community College and 22 four-year colleges. Students admitted
to these programs will, upon completion of a prescribed sequence of courses
leading to an associate's degree, be assured transfer admission with full
junior status.
"2 + 2" programs are generally not appropriate if you plan
to attend on a part-time and/or evening basis and take longer than two
years to complete your degree.
