Today, NextStepU would like to take you on a tour of Johnson County Community College!If you are planning to earn a degree from a four-year college or university, then you need to know that JCCC has more than 100 transfer agreements with area colleges and universities. That means you can choose a specific major while you’re here and take the exact courses you’ll need to complete your degree at a four-year school.
If you’re in a hurry to start your career there are additional options. JCCC offers more than 50 one-year and two-year programs that lead directly to careers needed in the community.
At JCCC, more than $20 million in federal and state aid funds and institutional scholarships are distributed each year to students for college and living expenses.
Steps to enroll include: applying for admission; attending a new student orientation; taking an assessment test (or submitting ACT/SAT scores); meeting with a counselor; enrolling for classes; paying tuition; and ordering books.
*****************
Now, for a goodbye message from our Editor, Laura Jeanne Hammond.
After 15 years with NextStepU, I’ve decided to try something new myself.
I’ve truly enjoyed helping you plan for college; I wish you all the best.
Laura will most definitely be missed! Having started with NextStepU as an intern, she definitely made a place for herself. Good luck, and we wish you the best, Laura! Have fun in Kentucky, and don’t forget us up here in N.Y.!
