Madisonville Community College

What Madisonville Community College does

Madisonville Community College (MCC) is a public, state-funded two-year community college founded in 1968, operating three campuses across Hopkins and Muhlenberg counties in the Pennyrile region of western Kentucky as one of 16 colleges in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). MCC delivers associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates spanning transfer pathways (Transfer Program), career-technical education (Business Administration, Respiratory Care, Welding, Automation and Industrial Technology, Computerized Manufacturing & Machining Technology), and stackable credentials (CNC Operator II, Machine Tool Operator I/II, Tool & Die Apprentice). Layered offerings include the Interprofessional Simulation Program (Simulation Hospital co-located inside Baptist Health Madisonville and a Simulation Home, accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare), apprenticeship pathways, dual-credit high school delivery, online/distance learning (NC-SARA authorized), TRIO Talent Search pre-college outreach across four counties, ACE2 Adult Education (GED prep, ESL, basic skills), Veterans Services, Title IX compliance, and co-curricular arts programming via the Glema Mahr Center for the Arts. MCC is led by President Dr. Cynthia Kelley and reports through the KCTCS system structure.

The underlying technology stack is built on KCTCS shared infrastructure — KCTCS Student Self-Service (CampusNexus), a shared online application portal (students.kctcs.edu, Campus MDC), the Visual Schedule Builder, Blackboard LMS, and CampusNexus Engage as the CRM/applicant portal — supplemented by third-party integrations including Pearson VUE (GED testing), ProctorU (online proctoring), RegisterBlast (assessment scheduling), National Student Clearinghouse and Parchment (transcripts), EdReady and KYOTE (placement), College Board CLEP and NLN NEX (credit-by-exam), NOCTI (AAS exit exams), Burlington English (ESL), TAO (mental-health self-help), and EthicsPoint/Vector Solutions (compliance). The Advanced Technology Center provides hands-on CNC and conventional machining instruction; the Simulation Hospital is SSH-accredited and co-located inside a working hospital, creating a clinically embedded training environment uncommon among two-year institutions.

MCC's revenue model is multi-stream: (1) per-credit-hour tuition and mandatory fees (Resident $195, Dual Credit $97, Nonresident $270, Online-Only $195 flat, plus $8 mandatory and $20 distance learner fees for 2025-2026) billed per semester; (2) administration of federal Title IV aid (Pell, FWS, loans), state grants (CAP, KEES), and the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship (up to 60 credit hours tuition-free); (3) fee-based proctored testing (EdReady, KYOTE, CLEP, NEX, NACE, NOCTI, ProctorU) with set per-exam charges ($30-$110); (4) transcript fees ($5 mailed, $7 on-demand pickup, plus National Student Clearinghouse online charges); (5) Workforce Solutions / customized employer training and apprenticeship sponsorship in advanced manufacturing, welding, IT, accounting, business, and cybersecurity; and (6) federal/private grants (historically two simultaneous U.S. DoE Title III grants 2003-2010; Felix E. Martin Jr. Foundation funding for Muhlenberg County GED Learn & Earn). Marketing and distribution are executed through owned digital properties (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, blog), SNAP safety notifications, Glema Mahr Center events, campus visits and orientation, the KCTCS Education First Employers program, and dual-credit coordinators embedded in regional high schools.
