Program Description:

The Career Studies program is a highly individualized program of study that takes into account all the life experience that a person has had in the work world. As many as 24 credit hours of academic work can be applied towards this degree if you have extensive and diverse work experience. Students build a portfolio that documents their experience and how it aligns with the outcomes of college courses. Students then take other classes to complete the degree.

“My career was sort of stuck since I did not have a college degree. When I learned about the Career Studies degree, I had to check it out. It took me half as long to finish thanks to the program. Now I can be promoted at my company and become a supervisor.”

—KVCC Career Studies Student
