Monroe Community College offers a number of admission options to match your academic interests and future goals, including early admission, accelerated degree programs, and our 2+2 dual admission program to lock in your plans to attend one of our four-year college partners. If you need help fulfilling specific requirements for admission, such as strengthening your English or math skills, we can help with that, as well. Explore your options here.

Be admitted into a degree or certificate program

Through our transfer programs, you can earn your Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree while completing your first two years of coursework toward your bachelor’s degree. Or, through our career programs, you can pursue an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree that helps put you in the workplace immediately. For an even higher degree of career specialization and a shorter program, consider our certificate programs.
