“跨课程写作”计划旨在鼓励教师将写作作为一种学习工具. MCCC的WAC项目将学习视为一个过程，而写作是这个过程中独特而重要的一部分. The WAC program is committed to the idea that all students, regardless of the academic discipline they are pursuing, can benefit from writing.
Each year, 教师根据学生的写作能力和与人合作的意愿来提名学生. 被提名者在成为写作研究员之前要经过广泛的筛选和面试. Writing fellows are then assigned to individual courses. 他们通过阅读写作作业的初稿和与学生讨论改进方法来帮助学生.
Because writing fellows are trained to work with a variety of abilities, WAC课程对所有学生开放，无论他们的写作能力如何. 向写作中心寻求帮助的学生既有处境困难的学生，也有MCCC最优秀的作家. Visit their Web site.

ACCELERATED LEARNING PROGRAM: ENGL 090 & ENGL 151 ALP
What is Accelerated Learning Program?
加速学习计划(ALP)允许没有在MCCC Accuplacer测试中获得合格分数的学生在同一学期完成ENGL 151和ENGL 090, not separately over two semesters. ENGL 090 is a supplemental course to support the work in ENGL 151. It is an opportunity for students to focus on reading, writing, and critical thinking in a discussion-based classroom environment.
Students will have one English instructor for both classes. Students will have several assignments to complete for both classes; the assignments in ENGL 090 are related to, and expand upon, content and skills from ENGL 151. In addition to reviewing material from ENGL 151, engl090课程将为顺利完成engl151作业预览材料和建立背景知识. 这种额外的帮助支持学生的信心，并提高他们成功完成engl151的能力.
What are the benefits of taking Accelerated Learning Program (ALP)?
- ENGL 090 curriculum helps students succeed in ENGL 151. 能够在engl090课堂上讨论和回答关于engl151的问题将有助于巩固engl151的内容.
- Cohort model. 学生可以更好地了解同学和他们的老师，因为他们有两个班在一起. The ENGL 090 class has a maximum of 10 students, so students will receive more individualized attention from their instructor.
- 学生可以更快地毕业或完成MTA的要求，因为他们将在一个学期内完成ENGL 151，而不是在两个学期内完成ENGL 090和ENGL 151.
Students pay for five credits for the two courses. ENGL 151 counts as a three-credit course, but students do not receive credit towards graduation for the ENGL 090. 在密歇根州，发展性课程不能获得大学学分.
这个应用科学副学士课程为学生在刑事司法方面的工作做好准备，这些工作需要副学士学位或转到刑事司法学士学位课程. 执法应用科学副学士课程为学生在需要副学士学位和密歇根执法标准委员会(MCOLES)认证的职位上就业做好准备.
美术专业的副学士学位旨在为学生提供一个良好的基础，在此基础上建立专业或业余爱好.
