Academic Programs
Career Education Mission Statement
Delta College’s Career Education Programs provide core knowledge,
skills and learning experiences that prepare students for successful entry
and advancement in careers, baccalaureate institutions, and global
opportunities.
Many educational programs offered at Delta College are designed
to prepare you for immediate employment in the job market. The
career education curricula provides you with the necessary skills and
knowledge required for entry-level positions in career fields. In addition,
most programs are diversified sufficiently to create some social
and economic awareness. Attending full-time, you can complete most
Certificate programs in one year and the majority of Associate degree
programs in two years.
Most career education programs are not specifically designed for transfer
purposes to Baccalaureate degree-granting institutions. Transfer of all
credits earned should not be expected.
In some programs, credits earned in career education programs may be
transferable into a Baccalaureate degree program at a four-year college
or university; however, these programs are not designed specifically
to parallel the first two years of university study. You should consult
with your Delta counselor and the Admissions Office of the college or
university into which you wish to transfer.
