Monroe County Community College introduces two new academic programs

Monroe County Community College is adding two new academic programs to its roster for the Fall 2025 semester. The Radiography program is housed within the Health Sciences Division and the Logistics and Warehouse Management program is housed within the Business Division. Both of the new programs will award students with associate degrees.

According to an article on Monroe County Community College’s website, the college’s president Dr. Kojo A. Quartey noted that enhancing and maintaining its academic programming is a major piece of the school’s strategic plan, having introduced 10 new programs in the 2024-2025 school year, and now these two new programs being introduced for the 2025-2026 school year.

Awarding students with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Radiography, the Radiography program prepares students to take the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Radiography Certification exam and to work as radiologic technologists, which is an in-demand career in the state of Michigan. 

The Radiography program is the result of Monroe County Community College’s participation in the Educational Programs in Collaboration (EPiC) Consortium, which is itself a partnership between Michigan Colleges Online, the Michigan Community College Association, and community colleges throughout the state. Monroe County Community College is working with Bay College, the Michigan Workforce Training and Education Collaborative, and EPiC to provide the Radiography program. As part of the collaboration, Bay College provides the faculty for clinical classes in the program, with MCCC providing the faculty for the general education courses, and awarding the degree.

Helen Stripling, the Dean of Health Sciences, noted that the program will be a competitive one, and that students meeting eligibility criteria will not guarantee their admission to the program.

The Logistics and Warehouse Management will provide an Associate of Applied Science degree in Logistics, and will prepare students to work in entry-level positions such as cargo and freight agents, warehouse managers, inventory control managers, and industrial production managers, among others.

Beverly Tomek, who serves as the dean of Humanities and Social Sciences and the interim dean of the Business Division, noted that this program is expected to help meet the needs that will arise with the construction of the Gordie Howe Bridge crossing in Detroit, including warehousing and logistics needs.
