Welcome To Muncie Area Career Center!
The Muncie Area Career Center (MACC) is an area career and technical education school dedicated to the development of academic and career skills to prepare high school students and adult learners for college and career. The Muncie Area Career Center achieves this mission through two programs: Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Adult Education (AE).

Students in the morning session attend class from 7:55 to 10:30 a.m. while students in the afternoon session attend from 12:25 to 3 p.m. Our knowledgeable and experienced faculty facilitate a variety of activities that assist students in learning about career and post-secondary opportunities.
All students are required to participate in at least one job shadowing experience each year. In addition, students in specific program areas also engage in clinical or internship experiences that allow students to work and train in a local business, company or agency.
The job shadowing and internship experiences are great opportunities for students to learn what specific career fields are really like so they can make informed decisions about college and career. Additionally, many MACC programs offer students the opportunity to earn dual credit for post-secondary education as well as industry certification in their chosen field.
Adult Education
Our Adult Education (AE) program serves adult learners in Delaware, Randolph and Blackford counties through a variety of program offerings that are all FREE. Courses are offered at a variety of locations and times to accommodate the varying demands of our adult learners' schedules and situations.
Learners who want to prepare for the high school equivalency exam can take classes with certified teachers in our Adult Basic Education (ABE) program. Adults who want to improve their English speaking and writing skills can sign up for our English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Anyone interested in attaining a professional certification can enroll in one of our IET programs to work with a teacher and prepare for the required test(s).
The MACC AE program also operates workplace classrooms in partnership with local industry to provide educational and training opportunities for employees.
