School Notes
Miles Community College has come a long ways since its inception in
1939. Housed in parts of Custer County High School for 18 years,
Miles Community College was Custer County Junior College back then.
In 1957, we moved to the old train depot. Around 1967, the American
Legion donated the land where Miles Community College sits, and the
College began to grow. Although much has changed over the past 65
years, the reasons for coming to Miles Community College have not.
Miles Community College offers quality programs. Students who did
not graduate from high school can complete their GED on campus or
online. MCC offers Associate of Arts and Science degrees with
emphases in Elementary Education, Equine Studies, Paraprofessional
Educator, Physical Education, Agribusiness, Biofuels, Business, and
Pre-Engineering. An Associate of Science in Nursing is offered
which train students to become registered nurses. MCC offers
Associate of Applied Science degrees in Automotive Technology,
Building Technology, Biofuels, Office Technology, Small Business
Management, Energy Technology, Equine Studies, Health Information
Technology (Coding or Medical Transcription), Information
Technology (Graphic and Web Design Option or Networking and PC
Maintenance Option), and Radiology Technology (partnership with
Montana Tech College of Technology in Butte, MT). Certficate
programs are offered in Agriculture, Automotive Technology,
Building Technology, Accounting, Customer Relations,
Entrepreneurship, Fundamentals of Business, Marketing and Sales,
Health Information Technology (Coding or Transcription Option),
Health Information Technology-Front Office Medical Assistant, Heavy
Equipment Operations, and Paraprofessional Education. Many of these
programs offer internships to help students participate in real,
hands-on skills training already being used in the workplace. Also,
with a professional-technical two-year degree or a one-year
certificate, you can immediately enter the workplace, equipped with
the appropriate skills employers want and desperately need. For
those who want to go on and earn a four-year degree, we offer
two-year transfer programs. After obtaining an Associate of Arts or
Science, you can—if you wish—transfer to any of the four-year
colleges/universities in Montana or any other postsecondary
institution. Many of our students have transferred to universities
in Montana, Texas, Washington, Idaho, North and South Dakota,
Colorado, Virginia, New York, and many others. Miles Community
College offers a variety of options for learners—day and night
courses, on-campus and off-campus courses, non-credit or continuing
education courses, customized workforce development programming,
and online and video conferencing courses in over ten outreach
sites through our eastern Montana partners. MCC is a member of the
National Junior College Athletic Association, Region IX, consisting
of Junior Colleges from Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado.
MCC also participates in the Mon-Dak Basketball Conference with
Junior Colleges from North Dakota and Montana. Athletic programs
offered at Miles Community College include: men's baseball, women's
volleyball, men's and women's basketball, cheerleading, golf, and
rodeo.
