ABOUT MACOMB COMMUNITY COLLEGE Macomb Community College is a nationally ranked, multi-campus institution located in Macomb County that provides high-quality, affordable educational options for residents in Southeast Michigan. Providing educational opportunities to more than 48,000 people each year, Macomb is consistently ranked among the top 2 percent nationally for the number of associate degrees awarded and is the largest community college in Michigan. Macomb began offering courses in 1954, when 84 students attended rented classrooms in Lincoln High School. By 1962, enrollment reached more than 3,000 and voters approved the forming of the Community College District of the County of Macomb and a one-mill property tax to support its operation. Since then, the College has kept pace with the community’s growing needs, gaining national prominence for its comprehensiveness and innovation. It has been a stop on the campaign trail of most every presidential candidate for nearly three decades and a frequent launch site for major initiatives. Fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, Macomb is governed by a seven-member elected board of trustees, and is designated an Achieving the Dream Leader College. The college is funded through a mix of tuition (41%), local property taxes (26%) and state appropriations (27%). In 2020, Macomb will ask voters to renew the local property tax operating millage, which is currently levied at 1.4212, for an additional 20 years.
