Flexibility
MCC offers 90 degree and certificate programs. Many can be taken online from the comfort of your own home. Classes — both online and in-person — are small, averaging a 22:1 student/faculty ratio.
Our professors are experts in their field and view teaching as their first priority. They work hard to make sure you have every opportunity to succeed. If you don’t understand the material, email or call them to schedule a time to meet. Our professors are approachable and truly care about your success.

Proximity
MCC is close to home, with the main campus in Edison and centers in Perth Amboy and New Brunswick. With online options available, you can earn your degree in the comfort and safety of your home.
With a student to faculty ratio of 22:1, it’s easy to see why so many MCC graduates value the personal relationships they were able to build with their professors. All of our classes are taught by industry experts, not teaching assistants, who bring real-world experience to the classroom. Fizza Sulaiman did poorly on her first two Chemistry tests and thought that maybe she wasn’t “college material.” It was her professor George Pangalos that encouraged her by saying “winners are not quitters.” He pushed her to study more and now Fizza is studying Biology at Columbia University and is also a Jack Kent Cooke Scholar.
