The Madeline Briggs University Center at Alpena Community College houses offices of accredited four-year institutions who are cooperating with ACC to make completion programs for selected bachelor's and master's degrees available in Northeast Michigan. It is a concept Alpena Community College is actively pursuing to bring staff, classes and services from partner colleges to existing facilities at the main campus in Alpena and at the Huron Shores Campus, Oscoda, for the purpose of offering a variety of advanced degree programs in their entirety.
