MCC is legally obligated to make specific information about graduation rates and transfer-out rates available to you. Use this information to make an informed choice about attending MCC.
Student Right-to-Know legislation requires that we report the proportion of students who began their studies full-time and who complete programs within 150 percent of the normal time required for completion. Three years for associate degrees and up to two years for certificates is normal at a community college with two-year programs.
Past data are available upon request. For more information, call the Office of Institutional Research at (815) 479-7518.
