Checklist

Choose Your Academic Program

MCC offers more than 80 programs, as well as our Undeclared Option where you can explore, learn, and find the right path to your future.

Find the program that matches your interests and goals

Consider the Available Degree Options

Through our transfer programs, you can earn your Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree while completing your first two years of coursework toward your bachelor's degree. Or, through our career programs, you can pursue an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree that helps put you in the workplace immediately. For an even higher degree of career specialization and a shorter program, consider our certificate programs.
