Create your career-ready field of study at JCC
The Individual Studies A.A.S. degree at Jamestown Community College prepares you to enter the workforce after graduation and pursue careers based on your interests, experiences, and career goals.
If you’re undecided about your career path, or you’re looking for a program that JCC doesn’t offer, you can customize your curriculum and explore disciplines while earning a degree designed for employment after JCC.
You’ll work with your advisor to connect your interests and goals with possible careers. Your studies will build skills in critical thinking, communication, and information literacy as you take career courses.
