Counseling Services

College is exciting and stimulating, but it can also be confusing and stressful. Classes, tests, work, family, friends and career decisions place new demands on your skills, time and energy.

Counselors are faculty members who hold a Master's degree. We are available to meet with you to discuss success strategies, study tips, or plans for the future.

Call 816.604.1000 or stop by one of the counseling centers to schedule an appointment. Services are free for MCC students.
