General Information

To meet the broad range of student objectives, Parkland College offers several types of instructional programs, study alternatives, and academic support services. Parkland’s two-year Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree and one-year Certificate career programs prepare students for immediate employment in a wide variety of career fields. The Associate in Arts (A.A.), the Associate in Science (A.S.), the Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S.), and the Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) transfer degrees are available for students planning to complete the first two years toward a bachelor’s degree at Parkland and then transfer to a fouryear college or university for study in a specific major. The General Studies program is designed for students who wish to earn an associate’s degree but not in a specific career or transfer area.

Developmental programs provide students with academic deficiencies an opportunity to prepare themselves for college- level work. Many continuing education courses and workshops that enhance personal and professional growth are available to all district residents. Free classes offered through the Adult Education program enable adults to earn a high school equivalency diploma (GED).

A wide variety of other educational programs and academic support services available at Parkland are described in this section.
