JCCC Statement of General Education

Graduation Requirements

Associate's Degrees and Certificates

Transfer GuidesJCCC's transfer programs range from accounting to theater. Credits from JCCC can be transferred to many colleges and universities in the United States.

Degree and Certificate Program ListJCCC's career programs provide the opportunity for students to study specific careers and enter the job market directly. Each program has been designed with the assistance of a community advisory committee of men and women currently working in the field who are well aware of the requirements and job potential in today's market.

Although career program courses usually are not intended to be transfer programs, some of the courses may transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Specific information on course transferability can be found in the Success Center on campus or on the transfer information Web site (http://web.jccc.net/academic/transfer). Several of the career programs enable students to gain valuable work experience in the community while taking the career program courses.

Students who are interested in a career program should contact a JCCC counselor for more information. Counselors can assist students with entrance requirements, course selection and sequence, and job possibilities. Careful planning and course selection can be just as important in a career program as dedication in the classroom.

Johnson County Community College and the Metropolitan Community College District (MCC) have developed cooperative agreements that allow Johnson County residents to enroll in selected career programs at MCC, while paying Johnson County resident credit hour tuition. Reverse Cooperative Programs allow Missouri residents to enroll in selected career programs at JCCC, while paying the MCC tuition rates. For more information, see the student handbook cooperative programs.
