Academics

Academic transfer

Students earn an associate’s degree in arts, business or science and simultaneously complete the first two years of study toward a bachelor’s degree. By starting first at MCC, then transferring to one of our university partners, students save thousands of dollars in tuition.

Career and technical education

In 2 years or fewer, MCC prepares many students for high-demand, high-paying careers in a variety of fields including medical, industrial technology, computer technology, public safety and more. CTE students can earn associate of applied science degrees and/or certificates.
