Any MCCC degree may be earned by fulfilling the general requirements and the requirements specific to the individual degree. Degrees include associate of arts, associate of science, associate of applied science and associate of fine arts. These types of degrees are called undesignated degrees. On the transcript, an undesignated degree appears on the transcript as the degree only. In addition to earning the specific degree, students who complete one of the occupational degree programs will have the program designation entered on their transcript along with the degree. Deviation from degree requirements or from a specified program may be made only with approval of the division dean or the vice president of instruction or their designee.
The student must attain at graduation a grade point average of “C” or higher (2.000 or higher on a 4.000 scale) in the course work required for the certificate.
General education courses unite students from diverse areas of study in the pursuit of knowledge that community college graduates should possess. At MCCC, they are the foundation of each associate degree. To earn an associate degree from MCCC, students must demonstrate competency in the following areas: natural sciences, mathematics, writing, computer literacy, human experience and social systems.
Students completing requirements for associate degrees during the academic year’s Fall 2022, Winter 2023 and Summer 2023 semesters are eligible to participate in the annual Commencement Ceremony.
