During the 2024-25 academic year, 24 Macalester departments offered 68 courses with civic engagement components taught by 45 different professors.

Welcome, Class of 2029!
We look forward to connecting with you during orientation in late August, and invite you to come see us on the third floor of Markim Hall if you’re interested in engaging the larger Twin Cities community during your time at Mac. Meantime, you can check out our civic engagement opportunities page, which is continuously updated by our student leaders.
