Educational Planning
By working together with your counselor or advisor, you can create an educational
plan that is essentially a roadmap to your academics here at JJC and beyond!
An educational plan is tailored to include:
- An overview of specific degree/certificate requirements
- Classes to take for your major (or ideas if you are undecided)
- Transfer requirements to a four-year college/university or two-year program not
offered by JJC
- A semester-by-semester outline of what classes to take in which semester
- Your attendance needs (full or part-time school)
See a sample educational plan for a business major here. (Please note that
each specific four-year school may have different requirements for a business major
than those listed here. That's why it is so important to schedule an individual
appointment with your counselor or advisor to specifically tailor your plan to you!)
Educational planning is done by appointment and may require more than one meeting
with your counselor or advisor to complete all the components listed above. You
should regularly check with your counselor or advisor to make sure no changes to
the requirements for your major or transfer school have occurred.
For students still deciding what path they are going to take at JJC and whether
or not they are interested in pursuing education beyond the 2-year institution (undecided
students), we can provide you with a generalized plan to help get you started. One
of the tools we use to help you create a generalized plan is the basic degree planning
worksheet. As you narrow your focus and make decisions about your academic interests,
we can adjust your plan accordingly.
For lists of degree and/or certificate requirements, see the Degrees and Certificates page.
Once you have a plan, you can focus on achieving academic success. JJC has many
offices and resources dedicated to this goal. Be sure to ask your counselor or advisor
for suggestions that you may benefit from and continue to explore our website!
