Mid Michigan College (MMC) Introduction and Academics

Introduction

In 1962, Mid Michigan Community College was still a dream amongst residents of Clare and Gladwin Counties, but within three years, that dream would begin its path to reality. The Citizens Advisory Council, created by the two counties that year, began studying whether a community college would be financially realistic.

By 1965, the council decided a community college would be an asset to residents of Clare and Gladwin Counties and within months the Michigan Department of Public Instruction gave the project of building Mid Michigan Community College its seal of approval.

The community then voted in favor of the community college in September 1965, giving the go-ahead to begin construction on the 25th community college in Michigan. Construction would begin in 1968, the same year classes began at the college
