Admissions & Enrollment

The admissions team at MICC is committed to understanding your goals, and helping you to determine if our community is the right fit for you.

Beginning a new journey can be scary, overwhelming, and also exciting. We take an individual approach to get to know each prospective student and their families, and help to support transitioning to the next phase in a young-adults, independent life.

We recommend you begin the application and admissions process early. Our admissions staff will support you in the application process, starting with a guided a tour of our campus, and sharing more about our programs.

Effective, August 1, 2018, Minnesota Life College changed its name to MICC., pronounced ‘em’ ‘eye’ ‘see’ ‘see’.
​MICC stands for Minnesota Independence College and Community.
