The Metropolitan Community College was originally instituted in 1914, as a Polytechnic Institute in Kansas City. After its transformation into the Kansas City Junior College, it became the first two- year university in the United States to award its students with an associate’s degree. In 1964, the junior college developed into Metropolitan Community College. Since its induction, MMC has developed into five campuses across the city and educates around 18,000 students every fall. One of these campuses is Blue River, located in Independence, Missouri

Each of the five different campuses offers MMC students something unique in classes and programs. The Blue River campus hosts a variety of general education programs.

The Blue River Campus also provides its students with an exciting speech and theater program. A theater or speech degree is not offered, but speech and theater classes may be used to fill various course requirements for an Associate in Arts degree. Film acting, television and stage acting, theater management, communications, and production are just a few of the courses Metropolitan Community College offers its students. The theater courses are designed to give students the skills needed to find a theatrical career in the workforce or obtain a four-degree in the theater or speech field.
The Public Safety Institute will build a student around the Police and Fire Academies. These training facilities will teach students to become police officers and firefighters at one of the best training grounds in the Midwest. The Law Enforcement Program is less expensive than the normal CEU hourly rate. Metropolitan Community College charges at a mere $10 for every CEU hour. The only exceptions to these charges are new detectives, instructor development, and first line supervisors.
The Fire Academy is recognized by the Missouri Department of Public Safety and the Internal Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC). This gives Metropolitan Community College recruits qualification to work as a firefighter in most states. All instructors are firefighters who have served in the local fire departments. Each student will receive training for not only immediate real-world needs, but also training for needs the public may need in the future. Each candidate must pass the Physical Ability Test and take the B-5 Fire Service Entrance Exam from International Management Associate for Human Resources. Metropolitan Community College students will be charged for these tests at a discounted price.
