CLARIFYING THE PATH

At Modesto Junior College we offer many areas of study, and to help you make a choice and clarify the path, we have organized all of our programs into unique schools. But what are schools, and how can they help?

Schools are collections of academic majors and programs and cluster groups of majors that fit within a career area. There are nine schools to choose from at MJC. Within each School are degrees and certificates that have related course work. The intent of selecting a school is to help you choose a major, degree or certificate based on your interests, knowledge, skills and abilities. Selecting a School early will also help you select classes that relate to your education goals. So what are the School at MJC?
