Midwestern Career College Opens New Campus in Cleveland, Ohio

Chicago, Illinois – June 20, 2024 – Midwestern Career College (MCC) is proud to announce the opening of its new campus in Cleveland, Ohio. The campus, located at 7261 Engle Rd, Suite 400, Middleburg, OH, will start its first cohorts of classes in the Fall of 2024. These will include an Associate of Applied Science degree in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Technology, as well as diplomas in Clinical Medical Assisting, Cyber Security, and Data Science.   

Jeremy Oberfeld, CEO of Midwestern Career College, noted, “We are thrilled to serve communities in the greater Cleveland area, offering students valuable opportunities to prepare for high-demand careers in healthcare and technology.”   

The opening of MCC’s Cleveland campus coincides with a key anniversary for the college. In May 2024, Midwestern Career College celebrated its 20th anniversary of opening its doors to help transform the lives and careers of students. In addition to dedicated instructors, career services for students and alumni, and well-maintained externship site locations for programs that offer clinical externships, one of the benefits of Midwestern Career College is that many of its programs have a length that allows students to fast-track their careers.

The Cleveland campus will launch its associate degree in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Technology on Monday, August 26, 2024. MCC’s hybrid Clinical Medical Assisting diploma program and 100% online IT programs in Data Science and Cyber Security will start on October 28, 2024.
