Creating Your Education Plan

Do you want to make the most out of taking college classes while in high school? Meet with your Early Career Navigator or Dual Enrollment Navigator to create a plan as to how your credits will apply towards a Career Certificate, Associate's Degree, or Bachelor's Degree.

Using an Education Plan

These templates are tools for you to use to plan your career path and the required education of that career. You can also use them to track how you will fund your education, including scholarships. To best utilize these templates, click on the link that best relates to your intended career field or planned degree, click the "File" menu in the upper left corner, and click "Make a Copy." This will save the file to your own Google Drive account. If you want assistance filling out this template, share it with your MCC Navigator.

​

These plans do not guarantee transferability or degree completion. This tool is not meant to replace your college academic advisor. If you are planning to attend MCC, you should meet with an academic advisor towards the end of your senior year. If you are planning to transfer your MCC courses to another institution, you should connect with the admissions department or an academic advisor at that institution for official transfer and degree information.

Choosing Your Focus Area

If you already know what you want to study or what career you want to pursue, certain general education plans will suite your goals. Choose the Education Plan that best aligns with your career goals. If you aren't sure which one is best, contact Alyssa Wiese, your Dual Enrollment Navigator.
