“MCC has not only provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to launch and grow a business, but the mindset that is required. I highly recommend the course to anyone that is trying to start a business but doesn’t know how or where to start. The value within the education you receive in this accelerated course is priceless – completely changed my life.”
Gabrielle Rodriguez - MCC alumna and owner of Fleek Beats Beauty
“The certificate is giving me the confidence to launch my business strong and dream big, while still being realistic. It’s given my business foundations to grow upon – from broad strokes like defining company values to the minutiae of details of tax deductions. It’s all about building your own business. The activities are not abstract or theoretical – they are directly related to my business.”
Abby Shenker - MCC alumna
“This program offers a practical approach to business education, equipping me with the real-world skills needed to succeed. The supportive community fosters networking opportunities and mentorship, ensuring I have the guidance to thrive. Having worked in both retail and corporate jobs, I decided to take the leap and start my own business. When I was looking at different business programs, [MCC’s] stood out. I didn’t want just a business degree, I wanted to be an entrepreneur. No other school has this kind of program.”
Christine Lenihan - MCC business student
