Curricula

The first program offered by the College was Practical Nursing. Electronics Engineering Technology and the Machinist programs were started in 1960. These three curricula are still offered along with many other career and College transfer programs.

The College offers the Associate in Arts, the Associate in Science, the Associate in Fine Arts, and the Associate in Applied Science degrees, diplomas, and certificates.

The Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Fine Arts degree programs are offered in the Division of Arts and Sciences. All career curricula and courses are offered through three divisions: Allied Health and Public Service Education, Business and
Hospitality Education, and Engineering and Applied Technology. In addition, noncredit academic, avocational, practical skills, and occupational classes and activities are offered through the Continuing Education Division.

Economic and Workforce Development/Continuing Education courses are generally offered, with sufficient enrollment, on demand. Curriculum courses are usually offered on planned schedules in both the day and evening/weekend programs. Many curriculum classes are also offered in clusters for unclassified students. Some Economic and Workforce Development/Continuing Education courses-including Adult Basic Education, Human Resources Development, New and Expanding Industry Training, Total Quality Management, and Focused Industrial Training activities-are ongoing or are repeated on a regular basis.

Both curriculum and Economic and Workforce Development/Continuing Education programs are supported through the activities of the GED Testing program, Developmental Studies, the Academic Learning Center, and the Library. Classes meet on campus and at various off-campus sites. Course requirements are the same without regard to meeting times or locations.
