Career and Community Studies (CCS) is a college-based, non-degree transitional program that prepares students with intellectual and developmental disabilities for adult life through academic pursuits, peer socialization, and career discovery and preparation.
Our mission is to create meaningful experiences for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities by maximizing opportunities to prepare them to become self-determined and autonomous adults. Career and Community Studies integrates inclusive classes, a typical college experience, and a transition curriculum to assist students in achieving adult roles and a quality of life in a community of their choice. The CCS program is for students who have completed high school requirements and who are at least 18 years of age.
