It was founded in 1915 as Kansas City Polytechnic Institute, with its campus at 11th and Locust streets initially offering a junior college program, a teacher training school, a high school, a mechanic arts school, a trade school, and a business training school. As a junior college, it was one of the first institutions in the country to issue two-year associate degrees, and it was the third school in the country to be accredited by the <a href="/wiki/North_Central_Association_of_Colleges_and_Schools" title="North Central Association of Colleges and Schools">North Central Association of Colleges and Schools</a>, in 1918.

A Board of Trustees was publicly elected to take over fiduciary responsibility for the college from the Kansas City School District. Patrons of the Blue Springs, Park Hill, Independence, and Fort Osage school districts voted to join the college district in the 1980s and 1990s.<sup id="cite_ref-history_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-history-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2021, three more school districts voted to "attach" to the MCC district: Grain Valley, Liberty, and Oak Grove. That brought the number of K-12 school systems that are "in district" with MCC to 15. </p><p>The Longview, Maple Woods, and Penn Valley campuses opened for the 1969-70 academic year, although campus construction would continue for years afterward. Some Maple Woods classes, for instance, met in a church that first year. The Blue River campus in eastern Jackson County opened in 1997, and the Business & Technology campus near Interstate 435 and Front Street opened in 2002. The entire institution became known as Metropolitan Community College, instead of the plural Metropolitan Community Colleges, in 2005.<sup id="cite_ref-history_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-history-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Business & Technology campus closed at the end of 2021, with its skilled trades programs relocating to three new facilities: the Engineering Technology building and Advanced Technical Skills Institute, both part of MCC-Penn Valley, and the Blue River East building east of the main MCC-Blue River campus in Independence. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Campuses">Campuses</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Metropolitan_Community_College_(Missouri)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Campuses"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Prior to the consolidation of the Metropolitan name the campuses had their own local names (e.g., Longview Community College, Maple Woods Community College, Penn Valley Community College). </p> <ul><li><b>MCC-Blue River</b> campus is in Independence, Missouri.
