Muskegon Community College

2800 College Dr., Sidney, MI

What began as a junior college in 1926 in the same building as that of the Senior High School is now a more than 100-acre facility in the city of Muskegon. The main campus grounds of the Muskegon Community College include the Hendrik Meijer Information Technology Center, the Stevenson Center for Higher Education, and the Frauenthal Foundation Fine Arts Center. Four off- campus locations can also be found in Fremont, Grand Haven, Whitehall, and Newaygo.

Offering affordable education is one of the main objectives of MCC. It is a goal they have successfully met by maintaining lower tuition rates than most similar institutions as well as private colleges and universities throughout the state of Michigan. Certain facilities are freely open to the public too such as the CArr-Fles Planetarium and the 15-acre Kasey Hartz Natural Area.

All students are encouraged to attain higher levels of education through collaborations with local universities and MCC's facilitation of a smoother transition process to any four-year college in the state. The college's Stevenson Center maintains partnerships with Grand Valley State University, Ferris State University, and Western Michigan University. A junior standing is the general requirement for transferring out, alongside the guidelines of Michigan's MACRAO Agreement which demands 30 credits for classes in general education.

A student population of about 5,000 is distributed among small class sizes to ensure optimum benefit in instruction. There are at least 80 study areas available; degrees and certifications for which are awarded by the college's departments of Social Sciences, Allied Health, Business, Education, Foreign Language, Life Sciences, Math/Physical Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Nursing, among others.

Student-athletes may also find a home in MCC by joining any of several Jayhawks teams. There are men's and women's teams for basketball, bowling, cross country, and soccer. The Jayhawks also compete in baseball, softball, wrestling, and volleyball.
