Same great campus. Same mission. Different building.
The Mineral Area College Law Enforcement Academy is now located inside the Industry & Technology Center. We’re excited to welcome our incoming recruits, criminal justice students, and continuing education students to our new location as we continue to grow and expand our program.
The Industry & Technology Center (ITC) is located on the MAC campus in Park Hills. Once you enter through the main entrance, you’ll find the ITC on the right, directly across from the dorms. Visit MACLEA's main office in ITC room 530.
