The Board, faculty, and staff are committed to offering the academic programs according to the high standards expected of accredited institutions. MACC has signed articulation agreements with regionally accredited institutions to collaboratively offer specific courses and programs. The accreditation of these institutions does not extend to or include MACC or its students. Although the institutions may accept certain course work in transfer toward a credential from MACC or collaborates in other ways for generation of course credits of program credentials, other colleges or universities may or may not accept this work in transfer, even if it appears on their transcript.
