About MACC
Moberly Junior College was founded in 1927 as a part of the Moberly Public School System and was one of the first two-year colleges of this type. Classes were initially held in temporary quarters above a downtown store. Library and laboratory facilities were shared with Moberly High School.
In the fall of 1931, the College moved into a new facility situated on 32 acres at College and Rollins Streets. Classes for junior- and senior- level high school students and junior college students continued in this building until 1968 when a new high school building was completed. The availability of the facilities exclusively for College use enabled an expansion of programs and services to meet the needs of a greater number of college students.
An election on April 6, 1982, officially separated the junior college and the public-school district, and the Junior College District of the Moberly Area was adopted. The boundaries of the junior college district remained the same as the Moberly Public School District.
On July 23, 1990, the Board of Trustees officially changed the name to Moberly Area Community College to more accurately reflect the College’s mission and service, and soon students and faculty began referring to the College as MACC.
Today, MACC is a multi-site college offering classes at five locations as well as online and virtual classes.
