Program Enrollment by Zip Code Dashboard
This geographic heat map dashboard displays the number of students enrolled at MJC for a given academic year by Zip Code. Top Enrolled Programs for each Zip Code are also provided.
Program Majors, Success Outcomes & Award Completion Dashboard
This dashboard displays student demographic and student success data. Data for each department/program is disaggregated along gender, ethnicity, and age group. Disproportionate impact is assessed for success and retention.
Use the “School” and “Department” filters to get the best picture of enrollments in a field of study, as opposed to a particular degree or certificate. E.g. to view students studying in the field of industrial electronics, select the School of Industry & Trade and the Department of Industrial Electronics, as opposed to selecting one of over a dozen Programs within that area of study.

MJC hosts a full suite of services to support its students in achieving their educational goals including:
Each School is served by a Success Hub, a space co-located within the School staffed by counselors, student support specialists, and often student workers to assist students in completing their educational journey within that school.
Extensive information regarding admissions, registration, and financial aid is available on the website or in-person through the Welcome Centers (east and west), in Yosemite Hall on West Campus, or the Student Services Building on East Campus.
Student success research is unanimous: To be successful, each student needs to find a way to connect with other students, college employees (faculty and staff), and their program of study. MJC has an amazing array of opportunities, providing a place for just about everyone. Students are also supported in starting additional clubs to meet current and evolving needs and interests.
