Monroe County Community College (MCCC) was created in Monroe County Michigan in 1964. Since that time, it has undergone a good variety of change and growth. The original metrology program began about 20 years ago. It was originally incorporated with the quality technology program, as it remains today. Metrology and Quality Program students have since then shared some similar courses. Opportunities also exist where a dual degree is possible. Classes for both programs originally were taught in one of the older buildings of the college, the East Technology Building, until in the Fall of 2013, when there was a significant new construction development. This occurred to satisfy the educational needs of local businesses and to greatly improve the college’s technology programs.
