Message from the Vice President of Academic Affairs


Dear Students,                                              

Welcome to Klamath Community College. Academic Affairs is committed to providing quality affordable, accessible learning opportunities to our community. 

A student-centered focus is at the core of the workforce training, academic transfer, adult basic skills, and continuing education programs and support services KCC provides.

Strong relationships with our local high schools and four-year colleges and universities ensure curriculum alignment and transferability of KCC credits. KCC’s rigorous general education curriculum provide transferable learning opportunities that enhance students’ growth and development. The aligned curriculum provides students with college-level competencies in critical thinking, communication, computation, information technology, and cultural diversity awareness. The career technical coursework (CTE) has been developed through the strong collaborative effort of both industry relevant advisory committees and intentionally aligned with workforce-recognized certification.

At KCC the curriculum maps provided in our catalog are linked to a student-centered schedule. A student-centered schedule accomplishes the following:

  • Allows for program progression through sequenced course offerings within a term, and term-to-term, that helps students graduate in the least amount of time and facilitates effective space and resource allocation.
  • Distributes course offerings across diverse days and times of the week to maximize offerings that enable students to create viable and conflict-free schedules.
  • Aligns course offerings among general education and programs to meet interdisciplinary needs of students.
  • Adheres to a standardized set of course scheduling times for student planning purposes.

I hope you find our e-catalog, term schedule, and curriculum maps useful in helping you reach your personal, academic, and professional goals.

Student Success Matters Most,

Jamie Jennings

CAO/Vice President of Academic Affairs
