When did they drop the "community" from Montgomery College?
It's considerd a top community college in Maryland and ranked 17th nationally among more than 650 community colleges. Lol, rankings of CCs?? Your/your kid's experience at MC? |

MC does not offer bachelor's degrees if that's what you mean by "4 year degrees". |

It never had “community” in the title. It was Montgomery Junior College until about 1970, then changed to Montgomery College. |

I love their teachers. The best part of Montgomery College is their faculty.

It’s a great option and leads to guaranteed admission to UMD if that is what your child is seeking.
It has a great reputation and we are lucky to have it! |
