History
I'm going to try and get some more history in here, but don't know when. Please feel free to add in the meanwhile...--Natcase (talk) 06:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Programs
Hey Astronuf, thanks for updating the program names in the list of technical programs, but I don't understand why the words "technical programs" were removed. The programs in the list aren't liberal arts programs-- that would be things like History, English, Biology, Psychology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PerfesserC (talk • contribs) 13:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

It appears the transportation center has been closed; there is no mention of it on the MCTC website or the Higher Learning Commission page about the college (http://www.ncahlc.org/index.php?option=com_directory&Itemid=192&Action=ShowBasic&instid=1892). I am going to delete the mention of the transportation center, but if anyone has different information, please advise. PerfesserC (talk) 19:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to adding these, maybe doing some grammar checking and spacing it out prior to the post. I will help you add to these. OnlyBlackGuy (talk) 19:45, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm still learning how to use the table. I don't know how to make some of them blank. It still needs to be cleaned up, and hyper linked which will take some time to do. I will pick up on this in a few days. Also, the extra letters would be turned blank.
