Among MSC's career associate degree programs are dental hygiene, health information technology, nursing and respiratory therapy. The 167-acre Macon campus is served by a fiber optics network which connects more than 600 computers linking students, faculty and staff. The Macon campus has 13 major structures committed to academic and student support services, including the new Student Life Center, completed in 2000. The Division of Business Administration also has its faculty offices and primary classrooms there. Macon State is a commuter college, but student housing needs are served by the private sector with one student-oriented apartment complex located adjacent to the campus and several others within a few miles.
Students commute primarily from a seven-county area in Central Georgia.
The student body is equally divided between recent high school graduates and mature adults. Minority students account for about one third of the student population. The average age of MSC students is 27. More than half are enrolled as part-time students at one of the college's three locations. Macon State is extensively involved in creating extracurricular activities for its students and in supporting cultural enrichment programs for the region.
