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!

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

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?

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

No, MC is a community college. They offer Associates's degrees, licensures, certifications, etc.

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

It has been named Montgomery College for decades, since the '90s at least.
