It's right here. Our 4-year degrees. Your career.

Unique model: Macon State College is a unique model of higher education: a baccalaureate institution dedicated to preparing students to succeed in occupations demanded by the new economy. Macon State's bachelor's degree programs are concentrated in professionally oriented disciplines that support rewarding careers and enhance the economic vitality of the Central Georgia region.

Access institution: As a complement to our baccalaureate mission, Macon State continues to serve as a point of access to the many educational paths offered by the institutions that make up the University System of Georgia, offering transfer and career programs of recognized quality. Macon State offers day, evening and online classes at its Macon and Warner Robins campuses and on Robins Air Force Base.

Quality of instruction: Year after year, without fail, Macon State's students report the curriculum is more rigorous, thorough and challenging than they ever expected, and they repeatedly rave about our caring and helpful faculty members, who take seriously the goal of helping students become successful in completing the requirements for their degree. Standardized degree completion tests required in specific programs of study consistently confirm that most Macon State graduates score well above state and national averages.

Growth: Macon State has been experiencing steady growth in the last decade (complete enrollment pattern can be seen below). Fall enrollment has grown for nine consecutive years, from 3,559 in 1998 to 6,464 in 2007. In percentage terms, this is an 81.6 percent increase. Only four other institutions in the 35-member University System of Georgia have had greater percentage increases in this time.

Affordability: Macon State offers tremendous value to students seeking an excellent education at an affordable price. The fees charged to students are among the lowest in the University System, and despite recent tuition increases, it is still possible to receive a bachelor's degree from Macon State for less than $10,000. The most up-to-date cost information is found here.

Location: Since Macon State is a non-residential college, it's important that our locations be easily accessible to a commuting student body. While there are private apartments within walking distance, most students use private or public transportation to reach the campuses. Our Macon campus is adjacent to an interstate and a U.S. highway, and our Warner Robins campus is near the intersection of two state highways and Robins Air Force Base.
