There is a direct correlation between the quality of one’s health and his/her capacity to learn and function well in society. Meridian Community College’s physical education courses promote personal wellness, which transcends curricular considerations, and is rather a lifelong goal for every human being. Thus, the College strongly encourages students to enroll in a physical education course as a degree plan elective.

University Transfer students who plan to transfer to an institution of higher learning are encouraged to speak with their MCC advisor and consult the current catalog of the institution to which they intend to transfer for specific requirements. No baccalaureate degrees are awarded at Meridian Community College.
