College Education Is Changing

What is the largest program in the Career and Technical Division at McHenry County College? Things have changed considerably since MCC began over four decades ago.

Based on a report to the Board of Trustees for Thursday's Board meeting, it is the AAS (Associate in Applied Science) in Digital Media. During the Fiscal Year 2010 school year, the program generated approximately 1,464 credit hours. The program is designed to prepare students for careers, such as game developer, game designer, and web content developer.

Supplies for this program include a state-of the art computer, software and hardware to provide a cutting edge experience for students. The current printer, on a four-year lease program, is at the end of the lease period and is no longer functioning. The purchase of a new printer was approved by the Board at a cost of $9,142.38.
