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
their chances for educational success.
Transfer Instruction [Lower Division]
If students’ goals are to complete the first two years of a four-year baccalaureate
degree, they will be engaged in transfer, or lower division collegiate, coursework.
Depending on the students’ chosen programs, they may transfer individual courses
or an entire degree. See page 33-34, 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.
