MCC also offers classes at the Applied Technologies Center for automotive technologies, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and precision tooling and machining. The college also trains law enforcement, fire safety, and emergency medical services personnel at the county Public Safety Training Facility.

Today, Monroe Community College hosts a diverse student body enrolled in 83 degree and certification programs.

Of the approximately 41,000 students who take classes through Monroe Community College annually, more than 65 percent are under 25 years old, and more than half are women. The majority of students are enrolled in certificate and degree programs. In addition, the college trains the area's workforce through open enrollment and corporate training programs, serving small to mid-size employers such as Melles Griot and large employers including Kodak and Xerox.

Many students opt to take a "2+2" transfer program, in which they enroll in a program to earn their associate Degree in two years with the intent of transferring to a college or university - primarily the University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, Saint John Fisher College, Roberts Wesleyan College, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Brockport, Nazareth College, or the Eastman School of Music - to complete a bachelor's degree.

Graduates of MCC have moved on to more than 100 different schools. In 2005, 2,680 people graduated from the college. Of those who transferred to another college, 62 percent chose one of the region's four-year colleges and universities. Of those graduates who enrolled at MCC to prepare for a career, 89 percent stayed in the greater Rochester area and found work in business, communications, technology and health care.

In addition to academics, MCC supports programming that provides solutions to community needs. They provide a G.E.D program, a support network for parents and infants called 292-BABY, and an AmeriCorps program called Rochester AmeriCorps.
