Columbia, Missouri, Community Colleges

Columbia, Missouri, boasts three larger institutions of higher education -- the University of Missouri, Stephens College and Columbia College -- but only one community college. The Moberly Area Community College (MACC) offers courses at seven northeastern Missouri campuses, including the MACC -- Columbia Higher Education Center, which is located in Columbia, Missouri.
  1. Degrees and Certificates

    • The MACC -- Columbia Higher Education Center offers an associate of arts degree and an associate of arts teaching degree. Also available at this campus are associate of applied science degrees and certificates in computer information technology, child development, business accounting technology and business office technology. In addition, the school affords a wide range of technical and academic courses from other areas of study, geared toward students intending to transfer these credits when they apply to other colleges later in their school careers.

    Ties With Other Institutions

    • Some of the courses offered by the Columbia branch of MACC are actually taught in buildings on the campuses of Stephens College and the University of Missouri. As part of a cooperative agreement between Columbia College and MACC, students who attain associate of arts or associate of applied science degrees from MACC may choose to complete bachelor's degrees through Columbia College. Columbia College maintains advisory and other offices on MACC's Moberly campus, just a 45-minute drive north of Columbia, Missouri.
