What Students Are Saying
mlc has a small campus and low student-teacher ratio. it is a family atmosphere in which everyone encourages and supports everyone else. because we all have the same goal - ministry - it makes school much easier to adapt to.
Shane from Westland, MI
MLC is a great college. It is full of kind and caring professors and friends. THe academics challenge you, but are very beneficial to gaining knowledge.
