 After years of recession, we are starting to see signs of improvement in the economy. Although no one expects a rapid return to the prosperity and employment levels we saw at the beginning of the century, there are good signs.
Those who use their time now to prepare for a career in a secure, high-demand field, will be in position to take advantage of opportunities when the job market opens up again.
As you look through MCC’s 2011-2012 catalog, you’ll see many career and technical education programs that can prepare you for a new career. These certificate and associate degree programs take one to three years to complete and are available at a much lower tuition and fee rate than the universities and private institutions charge.
You’ll also see that MCC is your stepping stone to a bachelor’s degree. The Associate of Arts, Business and Science degrees at MCC include classes that are equivalent to the lower-division college courses required during the first two years at the state universities in Arizona and at other transfer partner universities. Spending your first two years at MCC will save you more than $12,000 in tuition and fees alone. Students who know they are going on for a bachelor’s degree at any of the partner universities should coordinate their MCC class selection with a university advisor to assure all coursework transfers seamlessly.
With 8,000 Baby Boomers a day reaching retirement age, job opportunities will soon begin to open for those who have the education and training to secure positions vacated by the largest generation in history. Congratulations on having the wisdom and drive to seek the education you’ll need to qualify.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Kearns
President
