Get the credits you’ve already earned. High school courses in your field of study may be applied toward a JCCC associate degree.
Beginning in high school, your counselor can help you set educational goals and assess your career interests. From there, you can create an individual plan of study or “road map,” that will help you navigate through high school and even after graduation.
Create a smooth transition from high school to JCCC and a potential career. The JCCC Career Pathways program can help link your career-related classes from high school to the same or similar program at JCCC. Some courses on your road map can be connected (also known as articulated) to college credit to get you started on your way toward a JCCC associate degree.
Career-related courses that could articulate to JCCC programs include hospitality and culinary, accounting, business and marketing, graphic and web design, interior design, computer programming and more.
Creating partnerships
At Johnson County Community College, we work with your high school counselors and teachers to ensure a seamless transition from high school to JCCC. With our help, you won't repeat the classes for which you already received credit.
