NCMCO Partners With Academic and Data Center Industry Leaders To Launch Mission Critical Operations Degree
ISA, Automation Federation, 7x24 Exchange — the Carolinas Chapter and Sentinel Data Centers among NCMCO partners.
The National Consortium for Mission Critical Operations (NCMCO), led by Cleveland Community College in Shelby, NC, announced the launch of the nation's first Mission Critical Operations concentration offered to undergraduate students. Students who graduate from the 2-year program will receive an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Mission Critical Operations (AAS MCO).
Cleveland Community College began planning for the mission critical program in January 2013 and spear-headed the efforts to apply for a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant in early July 2013, which they were awarded over $23 million in September 2013 for the program's development.
