The TruMACC Transition Program is a joint admission effort between Truman State University and Moberly Area Community College (MACC).
Students are co-enrolled at both Truman and MACC allowing you to enjoy the four-year university experience while taking advantage of the affordability and diverse levels of academic preparation found at a two-year institution.
Admission Pathways
Students may enter the TruMACC Transition Program from a variety of avenues:
- Fully admitted to Truman but prefer to attend a community college initially
- Admitted to Truman contingent upon successful completion of the TruMACC program
- Admitted to or attending MACC and referred to the TruMACC program by an MACC advisor
Admission Details
