Partnership for College and Career Success Programs

Start working on a professional certificate or associate's degree while you're still in high school. Statistically speaking, that means your job (and salary) prospects will be better when you graduate.

When you participate in a Partnership for College and Career Success (PCCS) program, you come to MCC during your regular school day to take classes. Some credit you earn may count toward your high school graduation requirements and also count as college credit at MCC. These college credits may also transfer to other community colleges and four-year schools.
