All these little pieces come together to make Monroe County Community College what it is. In 50 years, we grew from a small college serving hundreds of students to one serving more than 4,000 credit students and another 4,500 who take non-credit and lifelong learning courses. These days, we’re proud to say we’ve got a lot going on, but you won’t be a number. People will know your name. Not because there’s no crowd to get lost in — you’ll be here with people enriching their lives through a wide variety of educational and social opportunities at the college. That’s the MCCC way.
