Malcolm X College Handbook - City Colleges of Chicago

Malcolm X College also meets the needs of students who plan to move directly into the
labor market. Successful completion of programs that award the Associate in Applied
Science Degree can lead to gainful employment in health sciences, computer science,
childcare, and business.
The Continuing Education and Community Services Program; the Adult Education
Program; the West Side Learning Center; and the Latino International Resource Center
round out the full-service programs provided to Malcolm X College Students.
Another major component of the College's activities is allowing broader access to its
facility in an on-going, pro-active collaboration with business, profession, and
community organizations.
