College Preparatory Instruction
Students needing to improve their basic reading, writing, and computation skills before attempting the rigors
of collegiate-level instruction can take a variety of college preparatory courses in the basic skill areas
before being required to apply them. We encourage students to attempt to improve their basic skills to promote
chances for educational success.
Transfer Instruction [Lower Division]
If the students goal is completion of the first two years of a four-year baccalaureate degree, they will be
engaged in Transfer, or Lower Division Collegiate, course work. Depending on the student’s chosen program, they
may transfer individual courses or an entire degree. See page 32-33, Transferring Credits for more information.
Occupational Preparatory Instruction
The changing and increasing technical nature of work in business and industry calls for a greater diversity of
high-level skills. KCC offers a number of certificates and degree programs for direct entry into occupations which
require greater than high school skills yet do not require a baccalaureate degree. It is recommended that students
have the basic skills before progressing very far in occupational preparatory instruction. For more information
contact the Student Services office or the lead faculty member in the program of interest.
