Course Requirements

Advising Notes

Nearly all MFG courses are self-directed, outcome-based curricula. This provides students with a greater degree of flexibility than most other COCC programs. The Manufacturing and Applied Technology Center (MATC) hours of operation provide students with ample time to complete their coursework during a term.

Upon starting their program, students review their desired certificate outcome with their advisor and a sequence of coursework is identified for them. With the exception of classes in a series (e.g. Manufacturing Processes I, II, III) or those with specific prerequisites (as identified in the catalog) most classes can be taken in any order, provided that instructor permission is obtained.

This one year certificate is designed for students planning to enter their chosen career upon graduation. Often only selected credits are considered transferable to public or private baccalaureate institutions. Prior to starting any MATC program, students are advised to contact the institution to which they intend to transfer and identify what credits may be transferable.

Performance Standards

• Academic Requirements:
  • Students must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA to earn a COCC certificate or degree.
  • All courses in the program must be completed with a grade of C or higher.
