Academics
Madisonville Community College offers a variety of programs that result in an associate degree, certificate or diploma. Students will be able to choose a program of study that best suits one's academic or career goals. Academic transfer programs allow students to complete the first two years of a four year education, followed by transfer to a four year college or university to pursue one's bachelor degree. Transfer to a public Texas four year postsecondary institution is made easier through agreements in place with certain schools. Students wishing to transfer to a private or out of state school should meet with a counselor to outline a curriculum that best meet that school's transfer requirements.

Career and technical programs provide students with an education in a given field, providing training, skills, and knowledge necessary to become a professional in that field. Such programs typically take between one and two years to complete, resulting in an associate degree, certificate. Students enrolled in such a program will have a traditional classroom education as well as experience building practical courses used to better prepare students for a real work environment. Graduates may seek employment immediately after graduation, and it should be noted that some fields may require certification or licensure.
