KINGMAN - With the economy in flux, many university students are transferring back to their hometown community colleges, which can deliver the same core academic classes at a fraction of the cost.
“Currently, students who attend MCC save more than $6,000 each year in tuition alone; and for 2009-2010 the state universities are raising tuition as much as 14 percent,” Mohave Community College
President Michael Kearns said. “When students attend MCC instead of going off to a university, they also save on transportation, housing and meals, and the student will be in a smaller class environment, where personal attention and help is always available.“MCC can prepare students for a university degree or a high-demand, high-paying career in a wide variety of fields, including health care, business, computer technology, education, industrial technology and public safety,” Kearns added.
Chuck Spotts, MCC’s vice president of instruction and student services, said, “MCC’s advisors can explain career options, help a student choose the ideal course of study, map out the courses needed to achieve their goals and help them apply for financial aid, if needed.
“Regardless of their long-term goals, students receive a solid educational foundation at MCC,” Spotts said.
On-campus and online registration is now open for fall classes, most of which begin the week of Aug. 17.
