Make an Investment in Your Future
Smart Investment
• Compared to the
average annual cost of
attendance, tuition costs
are up to 75% lower
when you take your first
two years at MCC
• An associate degree can
increase earnings by 22%
An education is one of the best investments you can make. Those who receive
an associate’s degree earn an average of 22% more than with just a high school
diploma. A bachelor’s degree increases that figure to 40%. By attending MCC,
you’ll get a head start on those savings. Our tuition is less than half that of most
Michigan universities and about one-fourth of many private four-year colleges.
More than 70% of MCC students receive financial aid in the form of scholarships,
grants, work study, and student loans.
