Curriculum & Program Development
The Office of Curriculum and Program Development strives to facilitate faculty innovation
and academic improvement by streamlining the processes through which our curriculum
is developed, assessed, reviewed, and revised. Enhancing the quality of our curriculum
offerings is at the heart of improving student learning. We work closely with deans,
department chairpersons, and other College offices in the planning, development, and
implementation of policies and procedures to build and renew curriculum offerings.
Monroe Community College, through access to affordable academic programs, leads excellence
and innovation in higher education, inspires diverse students to transform their lives
and communities, drives regional economic development, and builds global engagement
and understanding.
- Curriculum represents all of the courses of study offered by an educational institution.
- Curriculum is designed to assist students’ progress toward their goals, whether for
immediate employment or transfer to another institution of higher education.
- As a comprehensive community college, MCC offers a wide variety of programs to serve
the diverse educational needs of Monroe County residents, including both credit and
non-credit employee training and education opportunities for local companies and organizations
to increase their employees’ skill level.
- The College is authorized by the New York State Board of Regents to award three degrees:
the Associate in Arts (AA), the Associate in Science (AS), and the Associate in Applied
Science (AAS).
- Programs designed to facilitate transfer to other colleges and universities in liberal
arts disciplines lead to either the AA or AS degree, while programs in business administration,
communication and media studies, computer information systems, computer science, engineering
science, performing arts (music), office technology, and physical education lead to
the AS degree.
