Many students need to complete preparatory classes before beginning the degree program, thereby extending the total length of college study. A pre-nursing preparation program is also available for students who wish to do basic work before transferring to another institution. This is usually undertaken in conjunction with the associate of arts in liberal arts. Certificate Programs Certificates of achievement are awarded to students who complete a one-year program of study. The State Campuses are in various stages of developing and implementing vocational education programs, mainly trade training programs.
Currently programs are at certificate level only.
Entrants are not required to pass the college entrance test.
