Academics
With accreditation from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, this school awards the associate of science and the associate of applied science degrees. The community college itself is divided into seven departments: business, child development, fine arts, language arts, social science, science, and math.
Students can opt for majors in dozens of disciplines, including accounting, economics, biology, hotel and restaurant management, public relations, human development, and social science. All programs are designed to provide students with the foundation they need to transfer to a four year institution. Academic advisers work closely with students to ensure they take classes that are transferable to the college or university of their choice.
In addition, students may opt to earn an occupational certificate in disciplines such as child development, computer science, business management, and office management.
Students with busy schedules might want to schedule a distance learning course. This community college now offers online and video conference courses. Video conference courses are the same as a traditional course. Instructors teach on one campus, and students at another campus gather in a classroom for the class. The experience is 100 percent interactive, allowing students a complete educational experience.
Online classes, on the other hand, allow students to take classes from home or wherever they happen to be at any given moment they log in to their virtual classroom. Unlike video conference courses, students have the flexibility to log in and complete their class work at their own convenience.
This school recognizes standout students annually in a number of ways. Academically exceptional students may be nominated for Who
