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 require 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 communications 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. General education courses for Associate in Applied Science and certificate students are listed here.

The following pages list fields of occupational study offered at KCC. 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. Please check with the Department of Student Services for the most current curriculum outlines.
