Explore Your Enrollment Options.
At Monroe Community College, we make it easy for every type of learner to find their path—whether you’re a recent high school graduate, an adult returning to school, a transfer student, or joining us from abroad. We offer flexible in-person, online, and hybrid program options, plus evening classes to fit your schedule.
DEGREES, CERTIFICATES, & microcredentials
MCC offers several types of programs to help you achieve your academic and career goals, including:
- A.A. and A.S. degrees are designed to easily transfer your completed coursework toward a variety of bachelor degree programs.
- A.A.S. degrees are designed to prepare you for full-time professional employment immediately after program completion.
- Certificates are focused on a specific career skill or technical area for entry into the workforce or as a stepping-stone to a degree. Because certificates require fewer credits than degrees, they can often be completed in one year or less.
- Microcredentials are concise, specialized programs centered around a specific field of study. Earning a microcredential typically takes several weeks to one semester, and can enhance job prospects, accelerate career advancement, or act as a stepping stone toward a full degree.
Depending on your academic program, you can earn your degree, certificate, or microcredential by studying:
- Full-time – Take 12 credit hours or more each semester to fully immerse yourself in college life.
- Part-time – Take between 6 and 11 credit hours per semester to balance college with work, family, and other responsibilities.
TRANSFER pathway program
Transfer Services, housed in the Career Services office, assists students with college exploration, selecting courses, connecting with four-year college representatives, and navigating applications. We encourage students to begin planning for transfer early in their academic career, preferably as soon as their first semester. MCC has numerous transfer guides with local four-year institutions to help you smoothly transfer for your bachelor’s degree.
TAKE A CLASS OR TWO
Not every student is aiming to earn a degree right away—or at all! Whether you’re just trying out a college class, too busy to study full or part-time, or need a specific class to fulfill professional development, MCC offers hundreds of courses to meet your needs.
