It has been found that the education of every citizen to the extent of his abilities gives the greatest strength to the individual and to society. There is a twofold purpose in the education provided at a two-year college. It must first of all be technical, in order to prepare a person to assume a necessary role in the job market. It must teach intricate details that provide for preparation, mechanization and communication in industry, business, and health services. Sec- ondly, it must be intellectual. It is necessary for us to know the nature and needs of man in order to understand his connection with our personal contribution in the progress of life . . . this is why we exist. Frank M. Chambers, President 4

Career Oriented Curriculum The majority of Middlesex County College stu- dents are enrolled in career oriented curricula of chemical technology, laboratory technology, elec- trical technology, nurse education, business and secretarial science. The widened application of sci- entific knowledge to nursing, the laboratory, in- dustry, and general business has created an increasing need for the graduates of these cur- ricula. Because of this fact our students are assured a position of' prestige in their chosen field of work. , ,,4,,m,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,'.,...,,.,....-. ...W ,.,.......',,......i-.-..--,...i, ,., .a,.,....,,..,W,i Transfer Oriented Curriculum The Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum is pri- marily intended to enable the student to take the first two years of a baccalaureate program within the community college.
