Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC) is a community and technical college located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The college is located near Loring Park and has over 10,000 students. It is a part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System (MnSCU).
In 2003, MCTC acquired adjacent land that previously belonged to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's former Minneapolis headquarters; the land is earmaked for further expansion. In 2004, Metropolitan State University (Metro State) and MCTC started sharing programs and the Minneapolis campus of Metropolitan State University moved to the newly expanded MCTC campus from its original location a few blocks away.
