Monroe Community College

Innovation has always been at the heart of Monroe Community College. For more than 50 years, we’ve evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of our students and our community. We’ve developed new and exciting degree programs, created unique educational and workforce initiatives, and built contemporary urban and suburban campus facilities. Monroe Community College was established in 1961 under founding chairman, Samuel J. Stabins, M.D. MCC’s first Board of Trustees comprised Rochester’s leading professionals in business, health care, education and law as appointed by Monroe County and New York State. That same year, MCC was established as a member of the State University of New York (SUNY) System. Carrying on the vision of our founders, MCC continues to provide a quality education at an affordable price. Today, we offer more than 100 outstanding academic programs taught by award-winning faculty members for a much lower cost than private colleges. That’s what has made MCC a smart choice for half a century. Since 1961, nearly half a million people have been inspired by MCC. We hope to continue our traditions of innovation and value for many years to come.
