Students can take an unlimited number of courses without being committed to a particular degree.
For students who want to be formally admitted to WCTC, however, it is required that they choose a degree program or diploma. There are many advantages to being admitted to a program. For example, formal admission is required for graduation, and to qualify for most types of financial aid and sometimes for health insurance. Admitted students also enjoy a better choice of classes because they are the first to register each semester. Sometimes it is difficult, though, for students to decide what degree they want to pursue.
