West Shore Community College

West Shore Community College, established in 1967, serves students in Mason County and surrounding areas of western Michigan, situated on a rural 360-acre campus approximately five miles north of Scottville and fifteen miles east of Lake Michigan. The campus features modern academic facilities surrounded by woodlands and natural areas, including the Recreation Center which houses an indoor swimming pool and gymnasium open to both students and community members. As a two-year public institution, West Shore offers associate degrees and career-focused certificates, with notable programs in nursing, business, and technical trades. The college maintains transfer agreements with major Michigan universities and provides both traditional classroom instruction and online learning options, while operating as a commuter campus without residential facilities.
