About
Manchester Community College, located in Manchester, Connecticut, is the largest of the 12 community college located in the state. The school began operations in 1963, and currently enrolls over 15,000 students. Due to a variety of programs offered at the school, over 40% of the students enrolled at the school are not from the MCC's primary service area.
Manchester Community College prides itself on offering academic excellence, up to date technology in its classrooms and facilities, small classroom sizes, and a low cost high quality education. To maintain its high standards, the school is constantly looking to revise and update programs and offerings depending on the needs of students and the community.
Academics

Students can take programs designed for transfer to a four year institution or they can prepare for a career through technical and vocational training.
