Our talented and diverse faculty, administrators, and staff work to meet the College’s core mission, which is to serve our students by delivering high-quality, professional, career-oriented undergraduate degree programs within the context of a liberal arts education.

Celebrating its 50th year anniversary in 2020, MEC is nationally recognized as a leader in urban-serving education and is one of the 25 colleges within CUNY. We exceed the national average of student-to-faculty ratio, providing our students with a personalized educational experience and individualized support services. With over 200 full-time faculty members who must maintain current portfolios of research and scholarship, our students are taught by some of the best and brightest in academia, boasting several Fulbright scholars, a Guggenheim Fellow, and many respected researchers.

Our institution was established with the mandate to meet the educational and social needs of the Central Brooklyn community. Our guiding principle is to continue the legacy of our namesake Medgar Wiley Evers: to promote equal opportunity and social justice for all people.
