Metro Community College (MCC) located in Omaha, Nebraska is a comprehensive, public community college that offers affordable and quality education. MCC supports current or aspiring entrepreneurs to enhance their knowledge, skills and effectiveness to further develop successful small businesses in class, online and by individual consultation.
MCC’s Entrepreneurship Program is one of the fastest growing programs on campus and is taught in a REAL mode – generally no tests. Work done in any of 6 regularly offered courses that run both on campus and online are specifically designed to mirror REAL tasks that REAL entrepreneurs either need to do or know about. Courses attract both those interested in new startup planning AND those already actively engaged in business seeking knowledge and assistance. Although MCC launched its Entrepreneurship Program in 2006, it is now one of the largest educational providers of entrepreneurship education in Nebraska. MCC and Nebraska’s Community Colleges were recently named as one of the best models for entrepreneur education and training in the nation by The American Association of Community Colleges.
