Mapping Discipline Adjacencies

Mapping Discipline Adjacency focuses on the intersections of different program disciplines that may be interconnected to create new pathways for student learning and attaining advanced skill sets; it provides students the opportunity to receive additional certificates and/or degrees at HCC. The goal is to equip students with multiple credentials and advanced skill sets in preparation for a competitive workforce. Ultimately, it is about the student success.
