Academics
Atlanta Metropolitan College (AMC) offers associate degree and career programs in four school divisions: Humanities and Fine Arts; Natural Sciences; Business, Math, and Computer Science; and, Social Sciences. All academic programs are designed to either prepare students to transfer to four-year institutions or help students obtain a solid knowledge base to enter into the workforce.
The Humanities and Fine Arts program seeks to develop the students’ thinking skills, assist them in developing strong communication skills, enhance their reading abilities, develop articulate writers, and help students become analytical listeners. The program incorporates classroom meetings as well as extracurricular activities to enhance the students’ creative abilities.
The Natural Sciences division promotes the development of students’ critical thinking skills, by providing intellectually challenging instruction with hands-on activities and interactive learning. Instructors also use a variety of technology such as multimedia, audio-visual programs, and graphics to enhance the learning experience.
The Business, Math, and Computer Science program offers three types of programs: a business transfer program for students intending on obtaining a bachelor’s degree in a business field; the business career program for students seeking knowledge to use in the business world; and, a business cooperative with Atlanta Technical College to accompany a student’s vocational or technical certification in an area of business.
The division of Social Sciences provides a solid educational understanding of the social and behavioral outcomes within today’s society. Students learn both theoretical practices as well as practical experiences to help them understand all facets that affect their daily lives.
In addition, AMC offers certificate programs for automated office management, and criminal justice, as well as online classes in which students may earn a degree in two years with a full course load.
