PROGRAMS OF STUDY

The academic programs offered by Mercer County Community College include transfer programs that prepare students for entry into baccalaureate programs, and career programs that prepare students for immediate employment after graduation.

The terms “transfer” or “career” describe the primary objective of the program. Many transfer graduates are employed upon graduation. Many graduates of career programs successfully transfer to four-year colleges, with many of their MCCC credits being accepted.

General Education

Because Mercer is committed to promoting intellectual development, aesthetic appreciation, and cultural awareness, every program of study includes a general education component. General education focuses on reading analytically, communicating ideas clearly, solving problems, and developing a broad base of knowledge. Students develop analytical, synthetic/ creative, and evaluative thinking; scientific reasoning; artistic response and expression; historical consciousness; cultural awareness; and sensitivity to the contemporary world.

For more specifics concerning Mercer’s general education policy, see here. See list of applicable courses here.

Advisory Commissions

Many of Mercer’s academic programs benefit from advisory commissions that embody appropriate professional backgrounds and expertise. Members provide guidance and serve as a communication link between the college and the community, including professional, occupational, or special service groups. They acquaint the community with available college resources and the college with community needs.

In addition to providing advice, commission members identify technical information, equipment, and facilities necessary to establish programs and resources or to modify existing ones to remain current.
