It is a nice commercial but I laugh at the start here go anywhere.

Most of their classes will not transfer to other schools toward your major....they do transfer as electives but who needs all those electives. they also don't give you enough real education toward many majors that even Montana schools offer much less toward larger out of state schools. it is a good school for Associates degrees.

And oh yes I did attend MCC

I know, but that is why i put the commercial online. It is not true, but it is a catchy song.

If it wasn't for MCC, namely the baseball team, I never would have came to Miles City in the first place.

Slosh,

Not to sound sarcastic (which I'm not meaning to)... are you describing a good thing or a bad thing?

depends on who you are. There are plenty that wish I never came to town, and I hope more than a few that are glad that I'm here.

As one who endure 2 semesters of Grizwolds 35-42 "umms"per class period, I think you ad would be more effective if you started with a picture of the college and then zoomed out to the global shot of the earth and then zoomed back in MCC. Otherwise your audience has no idea where MCC is or what it is about.

I'm very torn about my time spent at MCC.

To be frank - the quantifiable value of the courses themselves was minimal. Granted, I was struggling for some semblance of a degree that would bring marketing, business, and computer graphics/art together in some useful form or another. This was at a time where most of Miles City could hardly comprehend what "the internets" was back then (Miles City was very much behind the times in that sense). So, the curriculum and degree programs were lacking, to put it mildly.

The ability to transfer any value of classes anywhere else on the planet was also terribly out of keeping with the times. I would have been better off getting a degree from Sally Struthers through the mail back then... at least it was recognized if not equally vague.

The thing is... the value I got from the professors, staff, classmates, and administration at MCC was worth more than I can ever say.

To this day I still draw upon advice, ideas, approaches and wisdom that the staff of MCC put into my head years ago... only to spring to life now.

What I gained from the people at MCC still benefits me and I don't know how I'll ever be able to thank those individuals enough for what they gave to me even while the programs themselves left a lot to be desired.

Don't know what it's like today but the staff that was there in the late 80's and early 90's was lightning in a bottle. Absolute top of the line.

MCC is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

If you look at the list of other Montana colleges and universities that are accredited by this same organization you'd think that credits earned at one should easily transfer to the other.

I know it's probably not so that those credits do transfer easily. It makes me wonder how much of that is due to politics and schools trying to protect their "turf" (enrollment numbers) as much as it has to do with the quality of the education behind those credits. (I.E. MSU could very easily accept credits earned at MCC but they prefer to have students pay them to earn the credits rather than pay MCC.)

It seems strange that generals wouldn't transfer easily from MCC to the Montana Universities. What is the point of community college otherwise?
