Welcome to the MACC website!
Thank you for your interest in the Maryland Association of Community Colleges (MACC) — the voice and advocate for Maryland’s 16 community colleges and a resource for our member institutions.
Nearly half a million credit and non-credit students attend Maryland community colleges each year. The colleges enroll more than half of all Maryland residents attending college in the state.
The core missions of Maryland’s community colleges are academic opportunity for all residents, transfer degrees, workforce training, and lifelong learning.
