Mesa Community College provides quality instruction in more than 150 degree, career, and university transfer programs. Two-thirds of our students intend to transfer to four-year schools to complete baccalaureate degrees. Other students prepare themselves for the job market or take courses for personal enrichment.

Popular areas of study include business, education, engineering, biological and biomedical sciences, communication, psychology, visual and performance arts, and the social sciences. Career and technical programs provide career paths in fire science, automotive technology, mortuary science, biotechnology, and a full range of certificate and degree programs in nursing and other health care fields.

In addition to academic excellence, Mesa Community College is committed to preparing individuals for active citizenship in a diverse global society. Study abroad programs and international speakers on campus are coordinated through our International Education Office and the Center for Global Tolerance and Awareness. Annually, MCC welcomes more than two hundred international students from more than fifty countries, and many MCC students have studied abroad in Mexico, China, Italy, and Ireland.

In addition to traditional university transfer and career/technical classes, MCC offers community education, continuing education for practicing professionals, developmental education, and English as a second language. MCC's Business and Industry Institute, located in downtown Mesa, is a major community resource for training in computer networking and related areas.
