Muskegon Community College, dedicated to equity and excellence, prepares students, builds communities, and improves lives.

Our Vision

An educated, inclusive community.

Introduction

Aspiring To Be The Best, Muskegon Community College’s five-year Strategic Plan, focuses on increasing access to higher education, improving equity, and becoming an excellent place to learn and grow. Students come to MCC for many reasons: to finish an associate degree and transfer to a four-year university, to complete a certificate or degree to enter the workforce, to build skills for career advancement, to enrich the experience of high school, to engage in learning for the joy of learning, and, sometimes, to explore varies career paths. Whatever your reason for choosing MCC, please know that you, your goals, and your MCC experience are vitally important to us. We have many educational and career pathways, and we have many people and services in place to help you select the one that is best for you, support you as you start and stay on your path, and celebrate with you as you complete important milestones. Every member of the MCC community, from facilities staff to the college president, will be rooting for you when times get tough, when things are going well, and when you have accomplished all you came to do at MCC. Located near the shores of Lake Michigan, MCC is a vital part of a growing community, providing learning opportunities on our main campus, at our Sturrus Technology Center in downtown Muskegon, our Ottawa Center in Grand Haven, and at our off-campus locations in Ottawa and Newaygo Counties. MCC also offers many online and hybrid classes, with synchronous and asynchronous options.
