About MCCC

COLLEGE OVERVIEW

Mercer County Community College (MCCC) is a publicly supported two-year college offering associate in arts, associate in science, and associate in fine arts degree programs that lead to transfer to four-year colleges. It also offers associate in applied science degrees in career areas, some of which also lead to transfer; certificates of proficiency in career specializations; and two certificates of proficiency in cooperation with Mercer County Technical Schools.

Through county and state support, the college is able to provide quality programs and services at the lowest possible cost to reduce economic barriers to attendance. State, federal, and private financial aid programs also are available to individual students.

Mercer is a coeducational institution with an open admissions policy. Students may enroll in credit programs as well as a variety of noncredit programs, and may attend day, evening, and weekend classes at the West Windsor Campus, the James Kerney Campus in Trenton, or through MercerOnline.
