For students, MCC understands that learning also takes place outside of the classroom and supports the inter-relatedness of academics and extracurricular activities. There are many opportunities for involvement including academic teams, clubs and student government; competitive and intramural sports; and theatre and music productions.

The original 100-acre campus near Sarasota Bay is located in southwest Manatee County and convenient to residents in both counties. This full-service campus holds the largest student population.

The bookstore is also housed in the Student Union and provides books for classes as well products, such as t-shirts and backpacks, that show MCC spirit. Numerous clubs and intramural sports activities are located on this campus. The Campus Ministry building is centrally positioned on the grounds. MCC Bradenton is home to the Neel Performing Arts Center and David S. and Anne V. Howard Studio Theatre where theatre productions, musical ensembles and other performances are presented. The Lancers athletic teams play their home games at this location using the athletic fields and gymnasium.

Recent additions and improvements to MCC Bradenton include a new 25,793 square-foot Art and Design Building that opened in Fall 2007.

History

Manatee Community College was established on September 17, 1957 by the Florida State Board of Education as Manatee Junior College. The college came into existence under a broader plan implemented by the State Board of Education intended to provide accessible higher education to the greater majority of Florida's population. The first classes were held on September 2, 1958 in what was formerly a senior high school; this first term consisted of a total of 502 students. The college began administering classes in its own facilities in 1959, where the current Bradenton campus stands today.

The Venice center was opened in 1977 by MCC's College Board of Trustees. During this period, the center's functions were funded by donations provided by residents of the surrounding communities which include Venice, North Port, and Englewood. It was not until 1983 that the college received an appropriation from the Florida Legislature to expand the Venice center into what is now the full-service Venice campus, which was dedicated as such on March 30, 1985. The name of Manatee Junior College changed this year to the current name, Manatee Community College.

Well a lot of the questions you are asking are good questions but since the school is a Community College, it's probably only a two year schools and offers you an Associates degree. Meaning there is no Ph.D program, probably no bus except for the city bus, and it may or may not have dorms. And the admissions requirements will probably be very minimal.
