A comprehensive two-year community college, RCC offers academic and career and technical programs, college transfer courses, and basic skills programs for adults.

• Academic & Career Technical Programs
• Instructional Program Departments (e.g., nursing, humanities, criminal justice, math, science)
• Basic Skills Programs for Adults

Career and technical programs lead to a certificate or Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and are designed for career entry upon completion. Professionals and technicians seeking career advancement will find many courses at RCC.

College transfer classes may culminate in the Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer degree. Completing the AA/OT degree assures you junior-level standing and the completion of general education requirements at all Oregon four-year public universities. Completion of this degree is considered the best preparation for transfer to out-of-state or private institutions.

The Associate of Science (AS) degree is preparation for transferring to baccalaureate degree programs in applied areas. The AS degree allows you to focus on a particular discipline based upon signed articulation agreements with the universities that have agreed to accept RCC students. You will need to work closely with advisors in your fields of interest to ensure electives are appropriate.

The Associate of General Studies degree provides you the opportunity to acquire a broad education rather than pursuing a specific college major.

A Career Pathways Certificate opens the door to a solid start in obtaining your employment and educational goals. Each certificate requires just a few courses. You decide how far you want to go, at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Basic skills programs offer instruction in areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics. This instruction is provided through Adult Basic Skills programs for General Educational Development (GED), and English as a Second Language (ESL).

Academic Skills courses are available if your placement tests indicate a need for writing, reading, mathematics, or study skills improvement. Tutoring assistance is provided if you are enrolled in credit classes.
