Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC) is a college located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, next to Loring Park. With one of the most diverse student populations in Minnesota, MCTC serves nearly 14,000 students annually.〔"MCTC at a Glance - Office of Strategy, Planning & Accountability". Accountability.minneapolis.edu. Retrieved 2011-04-14.〕 It is a part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System (MnSCU). This college offers two year associate degrees, certificates, and diplomas in fields of study such as aviation, business, cinema, fine arts, healthcare, information technology, justice systems, and liberal arts.〔http://www.minneapolis.edu/Educational-Programs〕 ==History== MCTC was formed in February 1996 by the merger of Minneapolis Technical College and Minneapolis Community College following the July 1995 creation of MnSCU.〔(1995-1996 legislative audit includes merger information )〕 They had shared the same campus adjacent to Loring Park for many years. Minneapolis Community College was founded as the first campus of the Metropolitan State Junior College in 1965. It changed its name to Metropolitan Community College and in 1979 the metropolitan system was broken up and the Minneapolis campus became Minneapolis Community College.〔(Higher Learning Commission, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools: School history )〕 Minneapolis Technical College was originally founded as the Girls Vocational School in 1914 by its first principal, Miss Elizabeth Fish. When a new building at 1101 Third Avenue South was completed in 1932 it was renamed Mary Miller Vocational School, after the teacher credited with opening the first school in Minneapolis in 1852. In the 1960s the name changed to Minneapolis Area Vocational Technical Institute . It entered the eighties as Minneapolis Technical Institute on a new campus at 1415 Hennepin Avenue. Its final name change was to Minneapolis Technical College (MTC).〔(MD Office of Higher Education student record contact information )〕 In 2003, MCTC acquired adjacent land that previously belonged to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's former Minneapolis headquarters. In Fall 2008, MCTC opened a new Management Education Center and Science building on this property. In 2004, Metropolitan State University (Metro State) and MCTC started sharing programs and the Minneapolis campus of Metropolitan State University moved to the newly expanded MCTC campus from its original location a few blocks away. In 2010, the only Metro State programs still operating on the MCTC campus were theatre arts and business. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minneapolis Community and Technical College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
