North Central Missouri College (formerly Trenton Junior College) is a public community college in Trenton, Missouri. Founded in 1925, the main campus has grown to include nine buildings used as instruction facilities, library and testing center, a tutoring center, a community center, a student center, a career center, an art gallery, two residence halls, and a technology center.
NCMC is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
The school competes in Division II of the National Junior College Athletic Association. Its mascot is the Pirates.[2]
On April 21, 2022, NCMC broke ground on a new campus in Savannah, Missouri. The new campus merged three previous satellite campuses (Maryville, Bethany, and the North Belt Center) into a single campus.[3] [4] A limited opening of the campus began in November 2022, with the full campus officially opening on August 9, 2023.[5] [6]
In 2011, NCMC opened the Barton Farm Campus just south of Trenton. The campus includes three classroom buildings: the Lager Laboratory of Plant & Energy Science, the Metcalf Mechanical Resource Center and Kuttler Animal Science building. The farm campus encompasses 138 acres of farm ground given to the College by the Barton family. A wind turbine, two-acre pond, and numerous test plots are located on the farm campus to support learning.
