Best education I could have received. Better than university and cheaper (I have since gine on to get a Masters). Lower division courses with articulation agreements automatically transfer to CSU or UC with priority admission. I didn't have to jump through hoops or take stupid tests to transfer, I just got in because I already had three Associates degrees.
The educators here are phenomenal. Dr. Denise Dalaimo (sociology), Pamela Ford, (anthropology), Willie Hamilton (political science- since retired), Maria Lopez (psych), Blaga Pauley (math-RIP), DR.STERLING ROULETTE (A&P and don't call him Doctor), so many others (I can't remember my chemistry, English, Spanish, speech, or statistics instructors) and the ENTIRE NURSING FACULTY, their voices are still with me after more than two decades.
This is an Ivy League education on a dollar store budget. Send your kids here, you won't regret it. Also, both campuses are beautiful. Consider why people with Doctorate degrees are teaching here instead of a fancy university with politics and tenure - it's because they're there TO TEACH, not get famous. They should be famous. I am forever grateful to MSJC and the professors I still love after all these years.
This college will always be my alma mater, no matter how far I go.
