As part of the Liberal Arts Associate of Arts degree, MCC offers a Liberal Arts - Pre-Nursing Track. The Pre-Nursing Track gives students the flexibility to take science and other classes while earning transferable academic credit and is ideal for completing any co-requisite nursing requirements.
The Liberal Arts degree at Manchester Community College provides a solid foundation in the Liberal Arts and Sciences so that students may discover and explore academic interests while preparing for future baccalaureate programs. The goal of the degree is to graduate well-rounded, lifelong learners who demonstrate the intellectual qualities and global awareness required of good stewards and citizens of our changing world. The Liberal Arts degree gives students the opportunity to complete an Associate degree as a stepping stone to a four-year degree. Core requirements for the program are comprised of courses that are the foundation of most four-year degrees.
Upon earning the Liberal Arts A.A. degree, students will have aquired a solid introduction to a wide range of disciplines, gaining knowledge and skills that will serve them well in every area of life, vocation and citizenship.
