Macomb studies 4-year college

After a couple of months and three town hall meetings, efforts to determine whether Macomb County needs a 4-year university ramp up this month. The public is invited to a meeting of the Public Advisory Committee on Macomb University , scheduled for Saturday. The group also is looking for volunteers to serve on a subcommittee researching a variety of questions. The county already has the University Center at Macomb Community College \'s Center Campus in Clinton Township . There, students can attend the community college and earn a degree from one of eight affiliated 4-year institutions that offer 31 bachelors', 18 master\'s and two certificate programs. Since opening its doors in 1991, the center has grown from an enrollment of 900 students to 2,700 and offers degrees from Central Michigan, Ferris State , Lawrence Technological, Oakland and Wayne State universities, the University of Detroit Mercy and Walsh and Rochester colleges.
