Montcalm Community College is dedicated to creating a learning community.

MCC was established on March 2, 1965, by an overwhelmingly favorable vote. The first Board of Trustees was also elected and a one-mill annual tax levy was established. Since then, the college has grown and expanded to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

Whether you’re a recent high school graduate or you’ve been in the workforce for a while, MCC has classes to fit your needs and circumstances. MCC offers a variety of associate degree, certificate and job-training programs; courses that will transfer to bachelor’s programs; online courses; and articulations with other colleges that offer students a seamless transfer. MCC combines state-of-the-art facilities and technology with its highly qualified instructors, small class sizes and affordable tuition to meet the educational needs of its community. Some of MCC’s 65 programs include nursing and allied health, business, integrated manufacturing technology, computers and more.

MCC also offers a variety of noncredit courses, ranging from computers and professional development to personal fitness and art instruction. In addition, a variety of lectures and other presentations are available.
