After High School Graduation

The biggest question students face when leaving high school is what will be next. When students leave high school, they go in many different directions. For an increasing number of students, the next step may be postsecondary education and training. Postsecondary education and training are for students who want to continue to learn in another environment after high school. Reasons for pursuing further education differ but often include obtaining credentials in a field of interest or securing a better paying job. Postsecondary options are varied and may include public or private universities, colleges, community colleges, career/technical schools, vocational/trade schools, centers for continuing education, campus transition programs, and apprenticeship programs. Today’s students may access traditional or online formats as a means of obtaining the education they will need to expand their opportunities and meet their career and life goals.

Consider attending MVCC after high school and learn how your early college classes can lead to a Certificate or Associate of Applied Science degree.
