In 2003, MCTC acquired adjacent land that previously belonged to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's former Minneapolis headquarters; the land is earmaked for further expansion. In 2004, Metropolitan State University (Metro State) and MCTC started sharing programs and the Minneapolis campus of Metro State moved to the newly expanded MCTC campus from its original location a few blocks away.

MCTC offers programs in the liberal arts, and in career / technical programs in fields such as aviation, criminal law, health, business, manufacturing and applied technology, graphic design and visual communications, film and video, personal services, public safety, and computer technology.
