Each program listing contains basic information to help you decide if it’s the right fit for you. This may include:
Length of Program: The intended length of time to completion, based on whether the program is designed to be full- or part-time. Most program lengths are based upon a full-time course load as outlined in the catalog course sequence. If this sequence is not followed, the program may take longer.
Upon applying to DCC, your academic strengths and weaknesses will be evaluated with a counselor; any weaknesses in your academic history may require developmental courses, which are not included in the program credit totals. Developmental courses or additional prerequisites will add length to the program.
Industry Credentials or Certifications (if applicable): Some - not all - programs are intended to prepare graduates to sit for third-party, industry-recognized examinations which may result in national certifications. These certifications may aid in obtaining employment.
Career Opportunities or Transfer Opportunities: Most programs are meant to either prepare graduates for immediate employment in their field, or else transfer to a four-year college or university to earn further qualifications.
Career Information: Where applicable, programs list potential careers, salaries, and projected growth of the field for graduates of the program. This information is taken from national employment data and projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook; it is intended as a guide, and is not a guarantee of employment or wages. Wages and available job opportunities will vary based on location, field of study, and qualifications of the applicant.
Transfer Information: For programs intended to culminate in a bachelor’s degree. DCC has guaranteed admission or articulation agreements with 40+ colleges and universities for graduates who meet certain guidelines. Typically, this means a student who earns an eligible DCC transfer degree with a particular grade-point average will be automatically admitted to the college/university with full third-year status. NOTE: Admission to a given institution does not guarantee admission to a particular degree program, major, or field of concentration.
Transfer students can save $15,000 or more on tuition and fees by completing an associate degree at DCC and then transferring to an in-state public institution - with even greater cost savings compared to a private or out-of-state school!
