Academics
Motlow State Community College offers over fifty programs of study. The programs are broken down into three categories, transfer, degree and certificate programs for career readiness, and personal enrichment and continuing education. Transfer programs fulfill the first two years of a four year education, allowing transfer to a college or university to complete a bachelor's degree upon completion of the program. Career programs prepare students by providing training in a particular field, imparting the skills and knowledge necessary to perform duties and functions at the entry level immediately after graduation. These programs take between one and two years to complete and result in a certificate or degree to demonstrate qualifications. Personal enrichment and continuing education courses allow individuals to take non credit courses for personal growth, or courses designed to refresh one's education and allow for renewal of certification or licensing as required by state law.
