Choosing Electives
For some degree programs, recommended elective choices are listed with the suggested curriculum. For other programs, electives will be based on your area of interest. You should always see an advisor for assistance in choosing appropriate electives.
Career/technical courses which will transfer to a four-year institution may be taken as electives. You must present written proof from the receiving institution guaranteeing acceptance prior to career/technical courses being counted as electives.
Transfer Guides
The lists below are suggested curriculum for common AA majors. While these suggested curricula are a good starting point for degree planning, if you intend to transfer to a 4-year institution, check with the transfer college/university for requirements specific to that school. The requirements will vary and it is your responsibility to research those requirements.
Conditions for Graduation
To meet the requirements for graduation from MACC, a student must meet the requirements of the degree and:
1. Complete 21 of the last 30 hours applicable to the degree program in residence at Moberly Area Community College (these last 21 hours must be 100-level courses or higher), OR complete 3 semesters of attendance AND a minimum of 45 hours applicable to the degree program at Moberly Area Community College.
2. Complete the recommended course sequence appropriate to the degree.
3. Have a minimum of 2.0 grade point average.
4. Submit an application for graduation.
5. Participate in graduation ceremonies (requests to be excused from commencement ceremonies will be reviewed by the Dean of Student Services).

College Catalog
The requirements for graduation at Moberly Area Community College are those specified in the college catalog at the time you first enroll in the College.
If you want to meet degree requirements printed in the catalog at the time of your initial enrollment, you can do that provided you enroll in at least one fall or spring term each academic year (August - May) AND the catalog was issued no more than seven years prior to the date the degree is to be conferred. (An exception may be granted to those whose education is interrupted by military service.)
If you fail to attend at least one fall or spring term each academic year, you have to meet the degree requirements of the catalog in effect when you resume attending classes.
You can also choose to meet degree requirements as specified in catalogs published after your initial enrollment. If you change programs, you will be expected to meet the graduation requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of the program change. In the case of curriculum changes, instructional deans may make adjustments to the individual degree/certificate plans to meet program requirements.
Every effort will be made to consider earlier course work in a way most beneficial to you in fulfilling current requirements.
Students are subject to all policies/regulations written in the most recent catalog.
