MCC Stresses Importance of Attending Accredited Health Programs

Dr. June Weiss, Dean of the College Health and Public Services Division, recommends students attend only accredited instructional institutions, such as those at MCC.

MOHAVE COUNTY — Mohave Community College (MCC) is proud to emphasize the importance of enrolling in accredited colleges, particularly those offering accredited health programs such as Medical Assistant, Phlebotomy, and Nursing. As the healthcare industry continues to grow, the demand for qualified professionals who have received a quality education from accredited institutions has never been higher.

Accreditation ensures that colleges and their programs meet rigorous academic and professional standards. For students, this means receiving a high-quality education that is recognized and respected by employers, professional associations, and other educational institutions. Graduates of accredited programs are often more competitive in the job market and may have greater opportunities for career advancement.

“Accreditation is a mark of excellence. It ensures students and their families that they’re investing in an education that meets the highest standards of quality and rigor,” said June Weiss, Dean of MCC’s Health & Public Services Division.  “At MCC, we are committed to providing our students with the best possible education and preparing them for successful careers in healthcare.”

MCC’s Health & Public Services Division offers a variety of accredited programs designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in many areas of the healthcare field. These programs are continuously updated to reflect the latest advancements in medical science and technology, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to meet the challenges of today’s healthcare environment.

Enrolling in an accredited health program at MCC not only provides students with a strong educational foundation but also offers numerous benefits, including eligibility for financial aid, transferability of credits, and improved employment prospects. Furthermore, accredited programs often include hands-on training and clinical experiences that are essential for developing practical skills and gaining real-world experience.
