Macon State College meets central Georgia’s educational needs by providing baccalaureate degree choices, associate degree options, and certificate opportunities.
Macon State’s bachelor’s degree programs are concentrated in selected disciplines that enhance the economic and cultural vitality of Central Georgia. With 17 bachelor of science or bachelor of arts programs that offer 29 majors, Macon State has something to offer all qualified students looking for a rewarding College experience. Additionally, we also offer two-year associate degrees, as well as some certificates that may be completed in one or two semesters.
As a complement to Macon State College’s baccalaureate mission, we offer 30 associate degree programs – many of which can be completed in two years – that embody the core curriculum and will transfer to any other University System of Georgia institution, as well as to most other public and private colleges and universities in the nation.
For this reason, many people refer to these as Transfer Degrees or Transfer Programs, since most of them are designed for students who decide to attend Macon State for a short time and then transfer to another institution, taking their credits with them.
In a few cases, an Associate of Science (A.S.) or an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree may satisfy the degree qualifications graduates need to obtain certain jobs. Three of our A.S. degrees can be used by students to begin careers in nursing, respiratory therapy or health information technology. For this reason, these three programs are sometimes referred to as Career Programs or Career Associate Degrees. Macon State also offers bachelor’s degrees in all three of these areas for those students seeking the additional career advancement opportunities available with the four-year degree.
Most of our other two-year degree programs are specifically designed to satisfy the core curriculum requirements for students who expect to continue their advancement toward a bachelor’s degree at Macon State or at some other institution. In addition to bachelor’s and associate degrees, we also offer a limited number of certificates, most of which can be completed in one or two semesters. The certificates usually are related to specific types of businesses.
