We come highly recommended
“The professors are all hands-on and dedicated to helping students be successful in their learning experiences. I recommend DMACC to anyone who has not been in a learning environment in several years or more, and it has given me the tools I need to get back in the game and achieve my full potential.”
Brian, Liberal Arts
“I began taking classes full-time at DMACC at the age of 25. I have heard great things about DMACC and I was excited to begin the college experience. Ever since day one, I have had amazing and helpful [professors] who have made my experience even better. I’m glad I chose DMACC to get my degree and I’m excited to see what my future holds!”
Stacey, Business Administration
“Going back to school at age 31 with three kids and years of staying home was scary. I chose DMACC because it addressed many of those reasons. The affordable classes allow me to pay out-of-pocket and stay debt-free. The small class sizes made the transition easier. Best of all, professors who are still active in their fields enables them to teach practical, real world examples, not just theory. My journey at DMACC has turned out to be one of the best and most amazing choices of my life.”
Jolynne, Fitness Management
“I chose to attend DMACC to further my education. I’m an older student looking for a better career than many dead-end jobs that I have worked at before. I feel I am worthy of a better career and DMACC seemed like the best choice.”
Eric, Liberal Arts
