Career and Professional Programs
Admission to the college does not guarantee admission to career and professional programs. To ensure that students have the best possible opportunity to succeed in their chosen fields and to gain employment in those fields after graduation, Jefferson State requires that students meet certain standards for admission to these programs. These standards include making up any background deficiencies, completing any required developmental courses, and satisfying pre-entry program requirements. Advisors are available to direct students toward courses and procedures that may enable them to gain entry into these programs.
Prior to seeking admission to these programs, the student should meet with an advisor to discuss program requirements and develop a plan for satisfying the requirements. There are some program courses, which can be taken prior to admission to the program, and the advisor will help with the selection of these and other general education courses that can be used to fulfill degree requirements once admitted to the program.
