Monroe Community College is a two-year college of the State University of New York, located in Monroe County, New York. The college has two campuses, one in the town of Brighton and another, the Damon City Campus, in the City of Rochester. The College also encompasses the Applied Technologies Center, programs at the Monroe County Public Safety Training Facility, and has courses online and at four extension sites in East Rochester, Greece, Spencerport, and Webster. It was founded in 1961.

The origins of Monroe Community College took place in 1961, when well known local physician Dr. Samuel J. Stabins (1901 - 1989) recognized the need to prepare students to work in local hospitals and health care facilities, and founded MCC. MCC became part of the SUNY system, and its program offerings were expanded to prepare graduates for a employment or transfer to four-year institutions. The College’s first home in Rochester’s former East High School at 410 Alexander Street had been condemned by the city as a fire hazard, forcing the school to make renovations. On September 9, 1962, the original campus re-opened, with an enrollment 720 students. Three years later, in June 1965, MCC became the first college in the nation to receive accreditation within three years of its founding. In 1968, the College responded to increasing enrollment by moving to a new campus on East Henrietta Road in Brighton. In 1991, the College announced plans for a second campus to serve a steady influx of students. The Damon City Campus, named in honor of longtime Trustee E. Kent Damon, opened its doors the following year in downtown Rochester, and educates students in law, criminal justice, human services and k-12 teaching.

A community college is a type of educational institution. The term can have different meanings in different countries.

Community colleges carry on the tradition of adult education, which was established in Australia around mid 19th century when evening classes were held to help adults enhance their numeracy and literacy skills. Today, courses are designed for personal development of an individual and/or for employment outcomes. The educational program covers a variety of topics such as arts, languages, business and lifestyle; and are usually timetabled to be conducted in the evenings or weekends to accommodate people working full-time. Funding for community colleges may come from government grants and course fees; and most community colleges are not-for-profit organisations. There are community colleges located in metropolitan, regional and rural locations of Australia.

Learning offered by community colleges has changed over the years. By the 1980s many colleges had recognised a community need for computer training and since then thousands of people have been up-skilled through IT courses. The majority of colleges by the late 20th century had also become Registered Training Organisations; recognising the need to offer individuals a nurturing, non-traditional education venue to gain skills that would better prepare them for the workplace and potential job openings. Qualifications such as undergraduate degrees and higher are not offered at community colleges, though some community colleges do offer certificate courses I to IV.
