Monroe County Community College (MCCC) is a public community college located just west of the city of Monroe, Michigan with another building, the Whitman Center, located in Temperance. The main campus itself is just south of M-50 within Monroe Charter Township.[2] MCCC was founded in 1964 and is the only higher education institution in Monroe County.[1] While the college was established in 1964, it did not open for students until 1967.[3]

MCCC offers a general education program for students seeking transfer to a four-year university or those seeking a career in a vocational education. The college has a highly regarded and selective nursing school. The highest degree that one can achieve solely through MCCC is an associate degree. However, nearby universities, such as Eastern Michigan University and Siena Heights University offer some of their undergraduate courses at Monroe County Community College for the convenience of those in certain programs who reside in Monroe County. Therefore, one can receive a bachelor's degree without ever leaving MCCC's campus. MCCC also has a Formula SAE chapter, a student operated newspaper (Agora), and programs available in distance learning, courses on video, and online courses. The college has no sports teams, but they do offer intramural courses in many sports and physical health classes.

Campus

The main campus was built in 1964 just west of Monroe, Michigan in Monroe Charter Township near the River Raisin. It is centrally located within Monroe County, and a number of major roadways provide easy access for students. There are seven classroom buildings on the campus, and the campus is continually expanding to meet the needs of a growing number of college students, especially for parking.[4] The property of the main campus is 210 acres (85 ha). The newest buildings are the Health Building (1996) and the La-Z-Boy Center (2006) — the latter of which was so named since the La-Z-Boy company, whose headquarters are located in Monroe, donated money for the construction of the new building. Each of the buildings on the main campus are commonly referred to be a letter abbreviation.

In 1991, MCCC built the Whitman Center about 15 miles (24 km) south in Temperance, Bedford Township to better serve the growing population in the southern portion of the county, as well as providing a closer facility for those in Toledo, Ohio. The Whitman Center offers the same services as the main campus, such as offices and a bookstore, but with limited space and class offerings since the complex consists of only one building with eight classrooms and one computer lab. The complex was named after a nearby Ford dealership, Whitman Ford, which donated money for its construction.[5]
