Working with other colleges to help you get the right degree
Through shared program arrangements, Montco students, who are residents of Montgomery County, PA, can complete programs of study that are not offered by us but are available at Bucks County Community College, Community College of Philadelphia, Delaware County Community College and Lehigh Carbon Community College. Students who enroll at these peer community colleges must be authorized by the Director of Admissions at both Montco and the host college to be eligible for program enrollment. Additionally, students who are enrolled at a number of peer colleges can complete programs of study at MCCC. The host college's sponsored tuition rate applies.
