Academic Pathways/Majors

  • Provide instructional programs (AA and AS degree programs) in university parallel curricula designed for students to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree and to seamlessly transfer to a four-year university or college.
  • Provide instructional programs in curricula (AAS degree programs) to meet the needs of students for entry-level employment in business or industry.
