Programs

Jefferson offers more than 5 options in academic and technical programs. and Educational Enrichment Services (EES).

Educational Enrichment Services (EES)

EES provides - at no cost - a review of fundamentals in math, writing, or reading skills for students whose COMPASS scores are too low for enrollment in regular JCTC classes.

A joint program of JCTC and JCPS Adult and Continuing Education, EES (pronounced "ease") classes meet during the fall and spring semesters on both the Downtown and Southwest JCTC campuses. Besides a review of fundamentals, EES instructors also teach basic computer skills, discuss study strategies, and provide information about campus resources. Students who complete EES are better prepared for the transition into JCTC developmental or credit courses.

Degrees

Associate Degree

The associate degree traditionally takes a full-time student two years or four to five semesters to complete. To earn the associate degree, students must successfully complete about 60 to 77 credit hours, depending on the program. Associate degrees include transfer degrees, and technical/professional degrees, many of which can also transfer to four-year programs.

Diploma

The diploma is designed to prepare students for employment in a specific technical field in one to two years. To earn a diploma, students must successfully complete 36 to 68 credit hours. Diplomas are offered in fields such as surgery technology and automotive technology.

Certificates

A certificate can be earned in as little as one semester, depending on the program. Other certificates may require multiple semesters. Certificates are offered primarily in technical programs. Certificates often can be earned one at a time, building towards a degree program, or can be earned in addition to a degree or diploma. Some certificate programs prepare students to take industry certification exams.
