Values

As an institution of higher education, Johnson County Community College supports a statement of values identified by the Carnegie Commission as applicable and enduring for all communities of learning. More specifically, we believe that Johnson County Community College should be:

* a place where all faculty, students, and staff share goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning;
* a place where freedom of expression and civility are practiced, encouraged, and protected among all groups;
* a place where every person is respected and where diversity is pursued;
* a place where individuals accept their obligations to the group and where well-defined governance processes guide behavior for the good of the institution;
* a place where the well being of each member is supported and where service to others, internally and externally, is encouraged;
* a place whose ideas and resources are shared with other members of the educational community-locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally; and
* a place in which the institution's rituals, affirming both tradition and change, are shared and where the accomplishments of its staff and students are recognized.

We believe in the dignity and worth of each individual and the fundamental right of each person to realize his or her fullest potential; therefore:

* JCCC programs and services should be affordable and accessible to all who can benefit from them;
* JCCC programs and services need to be comprehensive in order to meet the diverse lifelong educational needs of the community; and
* High quality should be the hallmark of all programs and services and should not be compromised by growth or reduction.

The Student Life Division actively seeks to engage students into the educational process by providing opportunities for leadership, group association, social contact, cultural enrichment, recreational learning and basic services. The division is charged with encouraging and providing opportunities for student involvement, and providing the type of out-of-classroom experiences that assist students in personal growth and development.

Johnson County Community College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Johnson County Community College (often referred to as JCCC) is located in Overland Park, Kansas. In 1963, Johnson County Commissioners recognized the great demand in the area for a community college, and to accommodate the rapidy growing population of Johnson County, Kansas. In 1969, the community finally realized the goal and opened its doors to students. Since that time the college has grown tremendously, both in area and population. It is the largest community college in the state of Kansas, one of the largest in the midwest, and ranks among the top community colleges in the nation. Many students that attend JCCC later transfer to the University of Kansas or Kansas State University after receiving credit for general education classes or from one of the many highly competitive specific programs available. It houses a suburban campus and provides excellent facilities for its students. JCCC's current building projects include the Regnier Center for Technology and Business, and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. The Regnier Center opened in August 2007 and the Nerman opened in October 2007. JCCC is home to over 30,000 credit & non-credit students offering a wide variety of classes to international students as well as local. Sean Neilon, a one-time alternate on the Wheel of Fortune works in the college bookstore. JCCC also has a well-ranking cafeteria, which includes food from Pizza Hut, a salad bar, Boulevard Burgers, Tsunami Sushi and Chick-Fil-A.

Question: Johnson County Community College IT?

I am about to go to this college but before I actually made a final decision I wanted to know how many people get a good job after getting a degree in computers or networking. Is it a good idea to go here or at another place?

It is a good degree to get. It is in demand. Make sure you do internship. Degree no experience=no job. Good Luck in College ss

Johnson County Community College is not in KC, MO. It is in Overland Park, KS. They would charge by the unit, not per year. Since you don't know what state the college is in, I'm going to assume you'll be paying out-of-state tuition of $149/credit

Question: Where else can you buy textbooks other than at Johnson County Community College?

I need to go buy my textbooks for a couple classes I am taking. Is there somewhere around the school other than at the school book store that I can buy either new or used books for my classes? This is Johnson County Kansas btw. If you know of a place, could you include the phone #/ exact address/ name of place/ link to website? Thanks in advance for any help.
