The State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) 

The Colorado Community College System is governed by a nine-member State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE). The Board is unique in the nation, with responsibility for both secondary and post-secondary career and technical education and community college governance. Members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate for staggered four-year terms. One community college faculty member and one student representative serve in non-voting capacities for one year each.

Advisory Council

MCC has a college advisory council, composed of residents from our service area who meet with the MCC President, in compliance with statute and State Board Policy (B.P. 2-25). The purpose of the college advisory council is to: 

  • Advise the College President and the Board on the long-term educational needs of the area served by the college and on other matters identified in statute. (See C.R.S. 23-60-206).
  • Serve as liaison between the college and area employers to facilitate assessment of employment, training, and educational needs of the service area.
  • Serve as liaison between the college and local school boards, county commissioners, city councils, other local elected officials and other relevant groups or person.
  • Promote the college’s programs and services among the communities and constituencies in the college’s service area.

Program Advisory Committees

Morgan Community College Dean of Instruction/Dean of Workforce Development and faculty of Career and Technical Education Programs (CTE) work in conjunction with Program Advisory Committees made up of community members, area businesspersons, and professionals who have expertise in that program. The Advisory Committee members review changes and new programs and courses along with the faculty and provide input from the business community on what is needed in the workforce. Their participation is a vital asset to the college and its students as they keep programs abreast of new technologies and practices as well as needs of the businesses in the service area. 

Curriculum Committee

The MCC Curriculum Committee reviews and recommends changes for all degrees and certificates. The committee is formed of faculty representatives, Instructional Deans, along with the Vice President of Instruction. The committee emphasizes a systematic analysis leading to innovative curricula that meet college goals and accreditation standards. The Committee is also charged with dissemination of curriculum and program changes throughout the college and advises about the effect of college policies upon courses and programs.
