New program aimed at helping MACC students transfer to Columbia College

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Columbia College and Moberly Area Community College have partnered to launch a new program to help students transition to Columbia College.

According to a news release, students from MACC will be able to live on Columbia College’s campus while taking classes through MACC. Officials say the partnership will also allow students to seamlessly transfer courses between the two schools.

The program is also designed to reduce the amount of time and money it takes for students to earn a bachelor’s degree at Columbia College. 

More than 1,000 MACC students and graduates have transferred to Columbia College since 2015, according to the release.

 “Students in the program have the opportunity to enjoy a diverse, four-year, private college experience while taking advantage of the affordability of community college,” Columbia College President Dr. Scott Dalrymple said.

Students can apply now for the fall semester. Anyone seeking more information can email admissions@ccis.edu or call (573) 875-7352
