Occupational Programs 

Kankakee Community College's occupational programs in the business, health and technology areas offer students educational and technological opportunities in a wide variety of fields. The programs provide career preparation, job retraining, and skills upgrading.

Students enrolled in the occupational programs may study for an Associate in Applied Science degree which requires a minimum of 60 credit hours and a maximum of 71 credit hours, depending on the particular field of study; an advanced certificate of 30 to 50 credit hours; and a certificate of completion which requires satisfactory completion of a series of courses.

To receive an Associate in Applied Science degree (AAS) a student must successfully complete a minimum of 15 credit hours of general education courses. Six credit hours must be taken from the communication area. Nine credit hours also must be taken from the humanities, math/science or social and behavioral science areas (or any combination thereof). These requirements are included in the curriculum and/or are indicated by "ELECTIVE" where a general education course must be taken. See general education courses for Associate in Applied Science and certificate students.

Following are links to fields of occupational study offered at KCC. On every page, listed under the name of the curriculum are the required course selections (and their credit hour values) for satisfactory completion of the curriculum.

Exceptions to all certificate and degree requirements must be approved by petitioning the Graduate Review Committee.

Due to curriculum revisions, state agency or accrediting agency changes or other factors beyond the college's control, the curricula shown may have been modified after this catalog was printed. Pease check with the Department of Student Services for the most current curriculum outlines.
