- Midland College is one of only three community colleges in Texas approved to offer a bachelor’s degree. The new Bachelor of Applied Technology-Technology Management degree is designed to broaden career opportunities for students and better their chances for promotion to supervisory positions. Midland College remains committed to its mission by offering a variety of programs to more than 6,000 students who enroll each semester. MC offers unique programs in Health Sciences, Legal Assistant, Information Technology, and Aviation, including a Professional Pilot Training program. Academic partnerships with universities, such as Texas Tech, Sul Ross, Lubbock Christian University, Angelo State University and the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, reinforces that MC students can easily transfer to all four-year schools – and, in some cases, even stay in Midland to finish a bachelor’s degree from one of these schools.
- Midland College is a level II (four-year) institution, accredited to offer a Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) degree with four career options.
