Basic Skills Effective college learning requires competency in reading, writing, speaking, listening, mathematics, reasoning, and study skills.
Computer literacy is recommended as well.
Part of each program at the Community College develops these skills. General Education Sometimes called distribution requirements, each Community College program contains a number of courses that introduce you to a common core of knowledge. Specialized Knowledge Called the program core and electives in the College program, a number of courses provide knowledge and skills for your educational goal, whether you decide to continue your education at a four-year school, to seek employment after graduation, or to pursue both goals. This distribution of required college courses determines whether the program you have selected leads to an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree. The Community College offers the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science degrees.
