MCC has served the Pennyrile region of western Kentucky since 1968, and now operates three campuses in two counties. MCC is regionally recognized for its excellence in associate degree programs, most notably Nursing, Advanced Industrial Integrated Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant, and other allied health degree areas.

Madisonville Community College has been at the forefront of America's two-year colleges in obtaining private and public resources which help us better recruit, advise, educate, and graduate students.
