About

MCU is providing midwifery education wherever there is an internet connection! Our students are building electronic communities across platforms and geographies! 

Being a part of MCU means being a part of a community of midwifery leaders. MCU is committed to the vision that every family deserves a midwife. As the U.S. rates of postpartum and perinatal mortality rise, especially in communities of color, the demand for well-educated, professional, and culturally competent midwives to better serve these communities increases. Our students are passionate about social justice and our training cultivates community leaders. 

School

MCU’s Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BSM) program, the CPM-to-BSM program are undergraduate pathways that meet and exceed the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council’s (MEAC) and the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) requirements. Our programming is flexible, affordable, and student-centered.

MCU’s Master of Science in Midwifery (MSM) program provides coursework in research methodologies, professional development topics, critical studies in midwifery care, and fieldwork-based experiential learning. The graduate program is designed for midwives looking to obtain advanced skills in one or more of our four areas of program distinction: midwifery research, midwifery outreach, midwifery policy, and midwifery education.

MCU provides evidence-based academic and clinical training on a variety of topics for maternal and infant health providers, parents, and individuals interested in informed and empowered health care choices. Several courses offer CEUs that count towards the Midwifery Bridge Certificate and CPM Recertification.
