簡介
HCC社區大學提供數百門課程
為升學及職涯準備 終身教育不斷提升
HCC課程的設計針對不同的人群,不論是應屆學生、還是尋求成人教育的在職人士,都是HCC的服務對象。社區大學的課程培訓人才,來滿足不同行業的技能需求,讓學生畢業後找到工作、或在HCC獲取學分和副學士學位後進入四年制大學在兩年內完成學士學位。
HCC社區大學課程設置類別:
1. 四年制大學轉學組: 學生在HCC畢業後,取得副學士學位。想繼續深造就讀的學生,可以轉念四年制大學,HCC學分普遍被四年制大學承認,可直接報讀大三的課程,繼續大學課程的後兩年,以取得學士學位。
2. 副學士職業組: 學生在HCC畢業後,直接找工作上班,因為學有所長,求職相對容易。
3. 短期專業證書 (Certificate) 組: 提供一邊工作、一邊在HCC進修的機會,提升專業水平,在HCC取得證書後可以在職場更上層樓,與行業需求最新的技術相接軌。對現有工作不滿意的人,若是希望轉換行業,HCC提供大量高新技術課程,能提升學生的求職競爭力,換取更好的工作。舉例來說,目前的三維印製(3D printing)以及網絡安全(Cybersecurity)很紅火,學生來HCC進修,拿了證書之後,立刻可以開闢新的職業機會,獲取高薪。2020年,HCC成為德州第一家、也是唯一的一家社區大學創設了人工智能(Artificial Intelligence或簡稱AI)副學士學位課程。
社區大學的優點
社區大學的優點有哪些?首先是學費便宜很多,學生在HCC上頭兩年,然後轉到一般大學繼續就讀,這樣子學費可以省很多。例如,若是住在HCC校區範圍內的學生,在休斯頓大學修一門課的費用可以在HCC修6門課。如果是HCC校區範圍之外,則可以修3門課。
其次,優點還有課程多樣化(更多實用課程的選擇),如果想就業,可以選擇職業訓練及專業技能課程,上課時間更有彈性,且注重理論與實務的結合,這些好處都讓不少人考慮進HCC就讀。
在師資部分,許多HCC的教授也在其他大學教授,課程內容都一樣,教學同樣的紮實,而花費卻更少。
