Academic Offerings

Matanuska-Susitna College provides curricula that offer its students the opportunity to acquire the intellectual skills, habits of minds, and ethical sensibilities necessary to develop into individuals who make informed judgments and interpretations about their community and the broader world, who take full responsibility for their beliefs and actions, who recognize the connection between knowing and acting, and who commit themselves to lifelong learning.

The MSC curricula emphasizes that while the acquisition of knowledge is an end in itself, each MSC graduate must enter the world beyond the College fully equipped to live resiliently in a changing world and be willing to apply theories and methodologies to examine and resolve the problems of their own communities, and those of an increasingly diverse and interdependent world.

The College does not prescribe specific courses for all students. It is the responsibility of each student to determine an appropriate program of courses within the framework of their academic program in consultation with an academic counselor.

The requirements for each degree include completion of a minimum number of courses, resident credits, fulfillment of the General University Requirements and the General Education Requirements, and completion of program requirements.
