In addition to the two-year associate degree program, Monroe County Community College offers a certificate program in product and process technology. We recognize that many employers place value on a certificate which authenticates specialized educational preparation. The program concentrates upon basic core courses with skill development and job upgrading being the primary objectives. All courses taken in the certificate program are applicable toward the associate of applied science degree. Certificates give students the absolute competetive edge in the product and process environment.
