Our instructional programs offer you two options, Transfer Programs and Career Programs, for earning an associate's degree, a certificate of completion, or a certificate of proficiency. Transfer Programs are designed for the student who wishes to complete the first two years of college before transferring to a four-year college or university to earn a bachelor's degree. Career Programs are designed to lead directly to employment after graduation or completion of certificate requirements.
