Social Behavioral Science Degree Map
This academic map is based upon the AA degree requirements as outlined in the academic catalog. In order for you to graduate in two years, specific courses and other requirements (e.g. prerequisites) must be met in a timely manner. It is important that you, when possible and appropriate, enroll in any needed developmental coursework during the first semester(s) of enrollment. Additionally, enrolling for courses during the summer session is an option and can reduce your regular course load and allow you to stay on track to graduate in two years. Finally, keep in mind this map does not substitute for academic advisement. If you have questions, see your advisor and refer to the MACC website for current information.
This academic map is not a contract, either expressed or implied, between MACC and the student, but represents a flexible program of the current curriculum which may be altered from time to time to meet the academic objectives of the college. MACC specifically reserves the right to modify, delete, or add to any academic map at any time within the student’s period of study at the college.

In his first year at MACC, he averaged 11.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, helping his team capture the Region XVI title and finish third at the National Championship Tournament. His sophomore year, he improved that average to 13.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game before he suffered an injury. He was still named honorable mention to the NJCAA All-American Team.

As the Chief Financial Officer, Gary was responsible for ensuring the teams had proper financial support and funding to survive and thrive. As a fan, he missed very few games and traveled to places far and wide with the Greyhounds, wearing the hat of an administrator if a problem arose. His solid leadership skills offered constant support to coaches and other administrative staff through the years. He understood and promoted the importance of Greyhound basketball to the community. Steffes also spearheaded the comeback of the Greyhound mascot and came up with the clever name of “MaJiC” as a nod to both the Magic City of Moberly and the college’s name of Moberly Junior College.
