Mohave Community College Catalog 2004-2005 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to Mohave Community College

The American Dream comes in all shapes and sizes. Some people are more than content with a modest home, others want a castle. Some want quiet suc- cess, others seek public acclaim. Regardless of the scope, if you can dream it, you can achieve it; but all begins with your education.

There was a time when only the elite went to college. Those days are gone. At one time, college was financially out of reach for most people. Students who sought a higher education had to move to a “college town” which made the cost of their education even higher. Today community colleges make schooling affordable and easily accessible.

There was a time when individuals earned a degree and never needed to go back to school. Those days are gone too. Technology changes daily and virtually every occupation is affected by those changes. Indeed, lifelong learning is essential if you want to remain competitive.

MCC can provide the tools that will help you choose or improve your quality of life. We can provide the education and training necessary for you to succeed in your chosen occupation - the education to make your dreams a reality.

The community college by its nature is organic. The essential elements remain the same but it is ever evolv- ing to meet the needs of those it serves. MCC will always provide a solid undergraduate foundation for stu- dents who plan to go on to a four-year college or university. At the same time, we will offer two-year degrees in applied science, and offer job skills certificates, for the many who do not plan to pursue a bache- lor’s degree.

If you are looking for a new, exciting career, want to work toward a promotion or a pay raise, or simply want to flex your mental muscles, think smart - think MCC. You’ll receive quality education, broaden your knowledge, increase your value as an employee and at the same time save literally thousands of dollars it would cost for the same classes at a four-year college or university.

No dream is too grand if you have a plan. Take the time to meet with one of our academic advisors and start building your unique version of the American Dream. The future you desire is within reach.

Sincerely,

Thomas Henry, Ph.D. President TABLE OF CONTENTS
