Corpsmembers have the opportunity to take academic high school classes and finish the State of California graduation requirements. It depends on how many credits you need. Credits are earned both during the Friday classes and for the work performed during the week. Although the standard length of time a corpsmember stays is one year, corpsmembers are always allowed to stay a little longer if they need more time to finish the requirements. MCC helps each corpsmember set personal education and career goals.
Classes are very small, and individual assistance is given.
