General Information


  • This program is offered in cooperation with the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District and the Metropolitan Community College (MCC). Students begin the program during their junior year in high school and will earn an AAS degree from MCC with a major in Engineering Technology: Architecture & Civil Emphasis.
  • Students must be accepted into this program. Go to www.ucmo.edu/mic or call 660-543-8256 for more information.
  • The following major classes will be waived for MIC students at UCM: CADD 1100 (1 hour), 2100 (.5 hour), 3100 (.5 hour), and 4100 (1 hour). These three credit hours will be fulfilled using free elective credit or extra transfer credit.
  • Please note that the credit hours from any course taken at a community college that articulates or substitutes for an upper-level (3000/4000) UCM course will not count towards the upper-level hours needed for graduation.
