Why MC?

Midland College (MC) is a comprehensive public community college that is an educational leader in the Permian Basin. The college offers two bachelor-degree programs and more than 30 associate-degree programs, as well as certificates and transfer programs in fields of study.

MC is especially suited to helping students adapt to a changing labor market by being able to quickly provide training required by business and industry. The college often partners with local businesses and expeditiously develops continuing education courses in response to industry needs, thereby getting students in and out and ready to work.

Affordability is a key component of all MC programs. Tuition is one-third the cost of Texas four- year public institutions. Thanks to generous donors and sound financial investments, Midland College is able to award over $1.4 million annually in scholarships.

A variety of online, hybrid and traditional face-to-face classes allow students flexibility to complete career and academic goals. The college values its mission of educating Midlanders of all ages and designs programs and curricula to prepare students for success as they enter the job market in high-demand careers or transfer to a university.
