Millard Fillmore College, commonly referred to as MFC, was named for the first Chancellor of the University at Buffalo and the 13th President ofthe United States. MFC was founded in 1923 for the purpose of serving men and women who had an interest in pursuing academic study but could not afford to attend classes. Today, MFC offers a variety of courses and programs -- including traditional on-campus, online, and off-campus options -- for working adults and other nontraditional students. Those offered through the internet can be completed at home, at work, or at a neighborhood center or nearby school. The traditional classes are conducted on the university's two campuses. The majority of these classes meet in the late afternoon or evening on the North Campus, and are typically held once per week for three to four hours. Select courses are offered on weekends. Many of the courses that MFC offers are part of certificate programs developed for working adults and other nontraditional students seeking academic degrees, continuing education, lifelong learning opportunities, or personal enrichment.
