Liz Vargas-64 Credits“I plan to go into Pre-Law at Drake, then I hope to attend law school in the future. I chose to get my AA degree because I have many years of college ahead of me, so I wanted to save as much money as I could! My college classes have also made me a better student and I’ve been able to take some law introduction classes, so this has helped me learn what field of law I would like to go into.”

Trevor Ketcham- 64 Credits“I want to go to Iowa State to get a degree in Engineering and by taking classes at MCC I am saving money that will help me stay out of debt when I am older. I really appreciate this opportunity that the high school has given us and I know I will appreciate it even more in the future.”
