Credit or Non-Credit?

Many people may not realize that MC offers credit and non-credit classes. What’s the difference between credit classes and non-credit classes? Simply put:

• Credit classes are traditional, semesterly college classes in which students earn credits toward a college degree or certificate. Those credits are transferable between colleges and universities.
• Non-credit classes are short-term, with no grades. Some non-credit classes may provide Credentials or non-credit certificates upon completion. 

Academic Divisions

Now that you know the difference between Credit and Non-credit classes, take a look at our four Academic Divisions:

• Arts & Sciences (credit)
• Health & Public Services (credit)
• Career & Technical Education (credit)
• Corporate & Community Education (non-credit)

Under these divisions are dozens of Areas of Interest that lead to associate degree and certificate options, as well as many short-term, high skills non-credit workforce training and lifelong education classes.

Athletics 

The college is also the home to Bighorns Soccer, the first college athletic team based in northwestern Arizona.  You can keep up with latest news and information about the men’s and women’s teams at Athletics.Mohave.edu.

We also have a fun Esports Team for our students on all campuses.

The Community Education classes are often called leisure studies and may include everything from arts & crafts to welding basics. Corporate Education classes help build professional skills, some refer to them as soft skills, which are desired by employers.
