Each course lasts less than three months, and various schedules are offered to accommodate all lifestyles. All MCC campuses also offer student life activities, which give students the chance to participate in outside interests like poetry and music performance. MCC’s Business and Technology division, like all its campuses and divisions, has an open admissions policy. While there may be additional requirements for certain majors, for the most part MCC admits anyone with a high school diploma or GED and, in some cases, will even admit those who have neither. Nearly half of MCC students receive some form of financial aid, although aid is not guaranteed. Aid includes need-based awards like federal and state grants and work-study. Students may also apply for MCC and outside scholarships, which are usually distributed based on specific criteria, such as academic merit or intended major. A final funding option available is federal and private loans. To be considered for most forms of aid students must fill out a FAFSA, which can be done online. Veteran’s benefits are also available.More
