Mineral Area College

What Mineral Area College does

Mineral Area College (MAC) is a public two-year community college located at 5270 Flat River Road in Park Hills, Missouri, operating since 1965 under the state of Missouri's higher education system. It delivers associate degrees, certificates, dual credit and dual enrollment coursework, continuing and workforce training, and specialized career-technical programs through facilities including the MAC Tech center and a Law Enforcement Academy. Course modalities span traditional in-person, online (MAC Online), hybrid, and live virtual instruction.

Revenue is generated primarily through tiered per-credit-hour tuition — in-district base of $162, Tier 1 $187, Tier 2 $217 for Fall 2025 — layered with residency-based pricing for out-of-district ($207-$262), out-of-state ($259-$314), and international ($271-$326) students, plus a $30 Student Support Fee and $15 Web Support Fee per credit hour. Secondary revenue streams include alumni and MAC Foundation donations, an Athletic Booster Club (Cardinal Booster Club), and approximately $1 million in annual scholarships. The institution also receives a $150,000 grant from the Missouri Department of Economic Development (April 2023) and participates in Missouri A+ Schools and federal VA education benefits programs.

Technology infrastructure is built on standard higher-ed platforms: Jenzabar SIS powering the MyMAC student portal, Brightspace LMS for online and hybrid courses, Google Workspace and Office 365 for collaboration, Transact for payment processing, and National Student Clearinghouse plus Joint Services Transcript and Community College of the Air Force for transcript exchange. MAC serves five primary customer segments — traditional college students, high school dual credit students, veterans and military personnel, international F-1 students, and returning adults — distributed through its main campus, regional outreach locations, high school dual credit sites, and distance learning channels. The institution holds Higher Learning Commission accreditation and maintains ongoing compliance with VA certification standards for benefits administration.
