- Metro was created in 1974 when the Nebraska State Legislature consolidated the original eight technical community college areas into six. That year, the programs, personnel, assets and liabilities of the former Omaha Nebraska Technical Community College Area merged with the Eastern Nebraska Technical Community College Area under a new name: the “Metropolitan Technical Community College Area.” In 1992, the Legislature voted to change the name to “Metropolitan Community College Area.”
- Metro has three campuses: the Elkhorn Valley Campus, located at 204th St. and West Dodge Road; the Fort Omaha Campus at 30th and Fort streets; and the South Omaha Campus, located northwest of 27th and Q streets. The College also has three educational centers: the Fremont Center, located at the Eastville Plaza on East Highway 30 in Fremont; the Sarpy Center at 9110 Giles Rd. in LaVista; and the Offutt AFB Center, located in Bellevue on U.S. Highway 75.
- Metro offers more than 100 one-year and two-year career programs in business administration, computer and office technologies, culinary arts, industrial and construction technologies, nursing and allied health, social sciences and services, and visual and electronic technologies, as well as an academic transfer program. General support courses, classes for business and industry and continuing education courses also are important parts of the College's service to the community.
- Metro is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association. The accrediting bodies of various professional associations also approve many individual programs.
