The Technical Studies program is designed to support the diverse needs of skilled workers to obtain an associate degree by offering credit for recognized technical experience, certifications and training.
The Technical Studies program offers three options for study:
- Design a custom degree to meet your educational and career goals.
- Combine a certificate (that does not have a degree option at MCC) with general education requirements to complete a degree.
- Explore various courses before determining a course major.
Students who graduate from this program will be able to:
- Build on applied expertise through selected coursework, gaining knowledge and skills in a specific discipline or clearly articulated interdisciplinary area.
- Attain proficiency in concepts, theories and methods of inquiry pertinent to the courses chosen as related technical electives.
- Integrate knowledge of their technical specialty fields with new knowledge from their chosen related technical electives.
- Advance in the development of skills necessary to interpret facts, solve problems, evaluate issues, develop multiple perspectives and think critically and creatively.
Students coming from recognized apprenticeship programs or those with certifications in a technical field (in an area that MCC does not offer) may receive credits toward an associate degree in Technical Studies for industry training and/or certifications. Documented certification exams and/or military experience may also be reviewed for credit.
