Minneapolis Community and Technical College is a public two-year institution formed in 1996 through the merger of Minneapolis Technical College and Minneapolis Community College, serving the urban core of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Enrolling approximately 6,700 students, the college offers 48 fields of study including registered nursing, liberal arts, accounting, information technology, business, and health sciences. MCTC's nursing program reports strong job placement outcomes, with a majority of graduates employed as registered nurses within one year. A notable feature of the college is its uniform tuition rate — Minnesota residents and out-of-state students pay the same amount, making it highly accessible to urban learners regardless of residency. The college formerly fielded NJCAA basketball teams under the Mavericks nickname, including a team that went 33-2 and reached the NJCAA Division III national championship game in 2009, before the athletics program was discontinued.
