School Overview
Founded in 1961, Monroe Community College (MCC), as its name suggests, is a two-year community college with campuses in Rochester and Brighton, New York. MCC is a member of the State University of New York (SUNY) system and is a regionally accredited higher education institution. In addition to its two campuses, the college also offers courses through the Monroe Public Safety Training Facility, the Applied Technologies Center (ATC), over the Internet and via several satellite sites located in the cities of Greece, East Rochester, Webster and Spencerport, New York.
With nearly 19,000 full-time students and 20,000 part-time and adult education students and over 600 faculty, MCC is one of the largest community colleges in the state of New York and the New England area. Its Brighton (main) campus is located in the suburbs on a 315-acre plot. Its Damon City Campus (Rochester) is located on the 4th floor of the Sibley Building, formerly a department store.
Monroe Community College offers two-year associate degrees and 1- to 2-year certificates in over 80 fields of study and career-focused disciplines. In addition to traditional degree and certificate programs, MCC also provides career and corporate training for much of the region’s workforce. Students intending on continuing their education after graduation at a four-year college or university usually enroll in the college’s 2+2 associate degree transfer program. Through transfer agreements and established relationships, MCC students seeking a four-year degree will typically transfer to St. John Fisher College, University of Rochester, Roberts Wesleyan College, Rochester Institute of Technology, College at Brockport, College at Geneseo, Eastman School of Music or Nazareth College upon completion of their associate degree. About 60% of MCC graduates who pursue a bachelor’s degree end up attending one of the aforementioned colleges or universities.
