Philosophy of the Mason City Junior College As a comprehensive community college, Mason City Junior College attempts to serve the people of the area who are of post-high school age so as to meet their needs in continuing, term- inal, technical, general, pre-professional, and adult education. The Mason City Junior College also provides limited college education for selected talented high school students. To best meet the needs of this heterogeneous group, the Mason City Junior College sub- scribes to: I. GENERAL EDUCATION by presenting a balanced curriculum in the broad areas of the humanities, mathematics, social studies, and the natural and physical sciences. COLLEGE PARALLEL EDUCATION by duplicating or parelleling the programs of senior institutions, TECHNICAL EDUCATION by offering units of instruction, the content and extent of which are established by industry and the professions. 2. 3. 4. a. b. 5. a. b.

Provide TERMINAL EDUCATION by providing a planned two-year program of courses for which an associate in arts degree is awarded, and . providing short-term sequences of courses for which certificates of completion are awarded. ADULT EDUCATION by establishing a non-college-credit program wherein a class will be organized when twelve or more people evidence interest in a specific course, and establishing night college-credit classes for working people who are unable to attend regular day school classes. MASON CITY JUNIOR COLLEGE STRIVES TO: counseling service to the individual student. courses and opportunities for those students who wish to develop specific skills. assistance to those students encountering difficulties in adjusting to college life. facilities for off-campus credit offered by other colleges and universities in the state. facilities and means of completion of high school requirements for students, who have not completed high school. 6. Provide a well-rounded program of cultural, competitive, civic and social activities for its stu- dents and the community as a whole. I. MASON CITY JUNIOR COLLEGE BELIEVES THAT: As a part of the public school system, it is privileged to: a. draw upon the special testing and guidance service of the system. b. use the elementary classrooms of the system as laboratories for teacher education. c. utilize the special vocational and technical libraries found in the school system. 2. The community should become, as far as possible, a laboratory for practical instruction, and that people and resources of the community should be used in the educational program. As a result of following this philosophy, the college hopes to make possible for each student an increase in the common knowledge, skills and attitudes which he needs to be effective as a person, a member of a family, a worker, and a citizen. 4
