They have an exceptional science building and is one of the rare community colleges to have a cadaver for students to observe. With the small class and campus size, it makes learning easier.

My School is best known for being a great place for students to begin their college experience. Kirkwood prides itself on providing cheap quality education to their students. Kirkwood also prides itself on its slogan "Start Here, Go Anywhere" which means that their credits they give out are transferable to many four year universities. If the student is content with a two year degree Kirkwood also provides excellent course studies to help students jump right into their work field.
