MCCC’s mission is to provide a variety of higher education opportunities to enrich the lives of the residents of Monroe County. As its vision, the college aspires to be Monroe County residents’ first choice for higher education. Established in 1964, Monroe County Community College is a public, two-year institution supported by tax monies from Monroe County, educational funds from the state of Michigan and student tuition. We are fortunate to have a millage that is one of the best of the 28 community colleges in Michigan. The 210-acre Main Campus is centrally located in Monroe County with easy access to Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. The Whitman Center, our south extension center in Bedford Township near the Michigan-Ohio border, offers a wide selection of courses. The college offers associate degrees and certificate programs for career preparation, as well as for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. It also provides training and retraining opportunities for business and industry, professional and personal enrichment programs, and other events and activities to promote the educational, economic, social and cultural wellbeing of the county and its citizens. Four-year and postgraduate degrees are available right on the MCCC campus through Siena Heights University and Eastern Michigan University. In-district residents pay $3,190 in tuition and fees per academic year.
