What Are Students Say

Shown below is some feedback from current students at MECC.

I have spent 3 years at MECC and currently working on my 4th and final year. I'm studing at Mountain Empire for a degree in Psychology, and General studies. This year has been challenging working online, but I will say the MECC staff and teachers have helped me tremindously through this process.

Christina Bently

This year will be my 2nd and final year at Mountain Empire. I've been blessed to have such great teachers! At MECC they've made it a point they want to make learning a fun thing again. Working with computers my whole life has made studing online this year so much easier. I'm currently studing for a degree as a Computer Software Specialtist, and boy oh boy did I make the right decision.
