Metropolitan Community College Area

Omaha, NE, USA

As the largest post-secondary school in the state of Nebraska, Metropolitan Community College is a 2-year community college serving Omaha and its surrounding counties. For students looking to transfer to a 4-year institution, MCC has reached articulation agreements with 33 colleges and universities to allow its associates degree graduates to complete their bachelor’s. These range from well known in-state schools such as the University of Nebraska and Creighton to out-of-state institutions like the University of Iowa and Kansas State. MCC makes it easy to take public transit to its campuses through Pass to Class: a program granting a Metro bus pass to all students that enables them to ride to and from campus for free.

What Students Are Saying

Metropolitan Community College is great for students starting out in college. The campus is very welcoming and it is very easy to make new friends. My experience so far at Metro has been so much fun that I wish I could extend my time as a student there.
