What is M-TEC?
"One of 18 such centers located at community colleges across the State of Michigan, the M-TEC located on the Harrison campus of Mid Michigan Community College, opened its doors to this state of the art facility in the fall of 2001. Offering students flexibility through open entry – open exit or “on demand” training, a student may choose credit or non-credit from a variety of learning modules in the Industrial or Construction Trades. Once a student has met with an Instructional Coordinator to go over his or her chosen area of study, a learning plan will be developed, which includes a date of completion, and the student may begin taking modularized courses just days later."

As a regional, state-supported institution of higher education, Saginaw Valley State University is committed to providing intellectual and cultural opportunities that enrich the lives of the residents of Saginaw, Bay City and Midland (known as the Great Lakes Bay Region). To that end, the University seeks to promote a diverse campus culture and to foster respect for the differences that make each individual unique. Learning opportunities at the University should include collaborating with individuals whose experiences, whose cultural, racial or religious background, or whose orientation and perspectives may differ from one’s own. The University is committed to preparing its students to fill key positions in economic, political, cultural, and civic leadership in an increasingly pluralistic society, and recognizes that part of that preparation involves developing an understanding and appreciation of a wide variety of individuals and communities.
