MICC College Program.
The three-year apartment living MICC College Program encourages the personal growth of each student through a unique and individualized process. As they participate in independent living skills curricula, career certificate programming, and social skills instruction, students gain valuable social and vocational experiences and begin to develop their community within an ever-changing world setting. Essential life skills such as grocery shopping, meal planning, personal grooming, finances, navigating public transit, and more are taught in the students’ apartments and the surrounding community. MICC teaches students a holistic approach to independence, with classes covering skills across six areas of competency:
- Social Engagement
- Homecare
- Personal Supports
- Health and Wellness
- Community
- Medication Management (if applicable)
Students are assessed on their growth and mastery of skills over the course of the program, with a step-down approach to instruction, that prepares the students for a high level of independence upon completion of the program. In addition to completing core courses, students are active socially to develop lasting friendships through our Social Engagement Program including participating in on-campus activities, community excursions, electives, and retreats.
